We were part of the very memorable and meaningful Grace Group for 15+ years. Don and Peg were our patient Leeders. Don was such a faithful and solid Christian mentor to Bruce and I. We love you Don and Peg!

To Peg and Family: Dave and I were saddened to hear of Don's passing. We are rejoicing, however, that he is now with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that we will see him again one day. I (Lynne) have such wonderful memories of our days together in our small group bible study and the fun times we had together socially. Peg, we pray that God will give you great comfort and strength at this time. We hope to see you before we leave Arizona around April 24. We will call to see if you will be back at Todd's by that time. With much love, Lynne and Dave Nelson
