I enjoyed having the opportunity to care for Don. He was a hoot! Between our projects we would do together from his buggy accidents, changing flat tires, or watching our favorite show Lucky Dog. We enjoyed every visit. Our talks will not be forgotten and our laughter will always ring. He and Judy were the most loving people and always had a heart of gold. May they enjoy eternity together again. :)

Don was my uncle and my dads brother and he was a kind person along with his wife Judy, every time I was around them it was always a smile and a laugh. Donny was a good man and now he will be with the lord and it will be great!
