I am so sorry to hear about Don and I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Don at FNB in Springfield for 15 yrs. before his retirement. He was a great guy not only as a co-worker but as a friend too. He certainly loved his family and I don't think he ever met a stranger. My sincere sympathy to all of you.

Sending prayers of comfort, during your loss, which is now heaven's gain. May every good memory fill your heart and sustain you. I lost my Father in 1968 and still think of him every day. As I have often heard, no one is gone until they are no longer remembered. "B"
