When I received the call that Uncle Donald had passed, different emotions ran through my mind. This could not be possible, Uncle Donald was invincible, bigger than life, yet the reality is he is gone, however, his memory will live forever in the depts of my mind and i'm sure all of yours. My first thoughts were that the light had gone out in the world, until that moment I am not sure I fully appreciated. Now there is an empty space, where once a man worked, played, attended to his car and motorcycle, enjoyed tv, a good horror movie and a great rollercoaster ride. Its a very large void, not so much because his physical presence is now gone, but more because the way he shared himself, was something that filled us all with the sence that we were someone special to him as special as he was to all of us, and that space can never be filled by another person. In closing, I'd like to suggest something to you. Don't mourn; don't be sad, he wouldn't have wanted that, instead remember the good times: remember his laughter, remember his crooked smile, his lazy eye, remember him happily and remember him often. Now THAT is how he would want us to feel. Until we meet again, ur Neice.

Dear Diehl Family,
I have just found out about Don's passing. We lived a few homes down the street from your family a few years back and got to know both Don & Nikki well in our time there. We are so sorry to hear about this and hope you know that we may not have seen you we did think about your family. We pray your family know that he is always with you all and will keep you in his arms.
Mike, Diane, & Mikey Pannelli
