Dear Paige and Family,
God's blessings to you and your family as you celebrate Don's "new life." I remember Don and the rest of mama's "boys," singing around our piano. Those songs return to me often as I go about my daily life. I feel sure that mama is one happy lady as she helped to welcome Don. They and Jimmy Matthews are at peace singing God's praises.
Don was a man of character and he will be greatly missed by family and friends. Don and the Parr Family entered my life as a child and no matter how many years have passed, I still remember Don with his kind words and "twinkle in his eyes."
Peace to you and your family,
Carol Cosby-Tillar
