What a fine Christian Man Don was. He was a pillar in the church I grew up in, and was always able to share a kind word and encouragement. Although he was resolute about his beliefs, he was always able to share in a warm and gracious way. I am truly fortunate to have known him and his beautiful family.
May God's mercy and love sustain his family during this painful separation.
In Christ's Love,
Greg Cole
