Terrie and Jim,

We were all very sorry to hear about your loss. Uncle Don was a wonderful man and we will all miss his quiet an unassuming ways. All of us have a favorite memory of Uncle Don, most remember his love of children and how at all the family parties he always had a baby in his arms. We know he has gone on to be with the rest of his family and are sure he will be holding lots of babies in heaven!
We will keep you both in our thoughts and prayers.
Love from The Charles Trumbull Family
