To the Warmkessel Family-

Don was a member of the Wm. Allen HS, Class of 1975. I would see him downtown, usually with his mother and sometimes at the Franklin. He was a quiet guy but always friendly. My sympathy to his family and friends.

Dear Esther and Family,

Cheryl and I are sorry for your loss. We liked Donald very much. We use to kid with him growing up. Even through out the years when we use to see him we would still kid with him and he would smile and laugh. Even though we didn't keep in touch with the family there are good memories to remember when we were young. Love to all of you.

Cheryl and Sue
