My prayers and condolences to the Hopkins family. My Deacon Don has always been able to bring a smile to my face even during the most difficult times of my life. He's always been a pillar in the community and used his abilities to further the Kingdom. I will miss him dearly as I am sure his family will and pray for their peace and comfort as they grieve
