Aunt Delores, Kent, Dee Ann and Family,
We love you! How very much we are going to miss our Uncle Donald. He was such a hugh part of all of our lives.

I remember the first time I met him. I offered him my hand and, you know Uncle Donald, he gave me a big hug and a kiss on the check. From then on we joked and heckled each other and anyone else that came into the family.

I remember the first Thanksgiving I spent with the family. Dick was carving the "Turkey" and Uncle Donald was carving the "HAM". . . how fitting was that!

Uncle Donald loved the youngsters and couldn't resist teasing and kissing them. . . even when they would pretend not to want any of his "sugar". OR when they tried to wipe his kisses off and he'd have to put more on their faces. They would each end up laughing and groaning like it was such a chore.

Oh what sweet memories he has left us with! It is this, the laughter, the teasing, the always being there for the family that will leave such a void in our lives. He is at peace now and it is left up to us to carry on. . . not completely whole for a part of our hearts have gone with him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.

Dick, Kay and Kalyn Allen
