We remember with fondness the times growing up when Don and sister, Loretta and other church kids came on Sunday afternoons to play ball and other games at our house. So many fun times at church, too. He knows the joys of Heaven and a great family reunion. Our sympathy to his family. Jo-Anne & Frank Flood
