Paul and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you. If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, or someone to talk to, you know where I am. My heart bled for you as I saw you walking up beside the rescue truck, and while you and your family had to stand by and watch and wait. I can’t imagine how hard that was for you all. It felt good to see a family that is so closely bonded together, although I only know Paul personally, I could still see the love you all have for each other.I know that sometimes we forget, but God will see us through. Keep the faith, and may God be with you.
Yours in Rescue,

Dear Dallas, I hope that you remember us, it has been a long time. We can surely sympathize with the loss of your son, as we lost our son, Jeremy, four and a half years ago in a car accident. Although we haven’t seen you in a very long time, we think of you often and always with fondness. Our deepest sympathy to you and all your family. May God Bless you all.
This is Bertha’s son Gary. I am going to try my best to make it there for the service. However, if I for some reason cannot attend I want everyone know that our thoughts are with them and that we will keep you all in our prayers.
Grover/Glenn: We are in shock at hearing of Don’s death. Please know that you and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. I am at a loss for words. If we can help in any way, please let us know. Time will heal the pain, let the memories of happier times prevail.
God Bless
Bob and Cindy Toothman, and family

Donald was a great friend. I met him 21 years ago when I came to work at Eaton and we became instant friends. We worked side by side for a number of years and he was a joy to be around. Everyday he did something to keep me laughing.He was a great friend and I am truly sorry about his death. I’ll always smile when he comes to mind.
God Bless,

To all the family, I have known all of you for a very long time. We were very shocked and saddened when we heard of the tragic accident. I will always remember Donald for his smile and his practical jokes. No matter how bad things seemed to be, Donald could always find a smile and make everyone smile with him.
