When all of us were growing up our dads and moms made sure we knew our great aunts and uncle's. I wish I would have followed those footsteps for my kids so they would have gotten to know you. Now they will only get to know the memories I have of you.
When heaven opens it gates to let you in grandpa will be waiting. Give him a hug and tell him that I said hi and to take care of you
Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal
Love you and we will miss you uncle Don.
