Carole, Donna, David and Debbie,
We are so very sorry and regret that we did not know earlier to share in the service. Don was a great friend and one who will remind us to laugh whenever we think of him and that twinkle in his eye. We cheered together at our girls basketball games and shared in Donna, David and Debbies experiences through Junction and Enterprise and was a great role model to all. Our families have been special friends for many years, we will very much miss Don, his intelligence and his great sense of humor. He was a very special friend and will always be with us in our thoughts and through the lives of Carole, Donna, David and Debbie and their families.

I know I didn't know Gramps that well, and I have only met you a couple of times, but I wanted to let you know that I am very sorry for your loss. Ellie spoke so highly of, and was so proud of Gramps that I know what a wonderful man he was. My thoughts are with you and your family through these difficult times.
