I am so sorry to hear the news. We're never ready to lose our parents. It really hurts your heart, as parents have a way of keeping the family together. Be strong in your faith and know that your Dad is at peace, and has joined your Mom. A new journey is ahead for them, a different chapter in thier lives.
Love is never lost, it lives in your hearts forever - so you'll always carry a piece of them where ever you go. Stay strong - they'd expect you to be ok.
God Bless you.

Elaine, Connie and family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Don from when we girls were kids in school. He was a good boy and seemed to always have a smile on his face.
Sincerely,
Nancy Taylor Smith-Tomek

Don was wonderful man that I remember fondly. He is a dearly beloved friend of my step-dad, Ted. He always had rosy red cheeks and a gleem in his eyes. YES just like Santa. The world has lost a sweet man. Sherry, Donna, and Tonya, you may contact me anytime you need to talk. With all my love and prayers to your family.

We remember Don in many ways, always friendly and no one was a stranger to him very long. He was the story teller of the family and it always had a happy ending.
May God bless the family with many plesant memories.
