We were so sad to hear about Don and wanted to express our condolences to the entire family. Don was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. God bless and keep you all.
Nancy! Doris Hensley called me this morning, 12/9 to inform me of the passing of Don. Both Doris and I are shocked. Both Don and yourself were always friendly, cheerful and upbeat, we can certainly understand the loss shared by yourself, family and those who were near to both of you. We pray that our Lord Jesus will give you the peace and strength to get by. We know that Don must be jumping up and down in the presense of God today, while whispering to Him, to take good care of you until your time to come and join him in the presence of the Lord.
AGAPE Always

I have not seen Don since our graduation from Lee Edwards, but remember him well. Some prankster changed his name in one yearbook to Donald Duck and it slipped by the editors, but I think Don got a bigger laugh out of it than who ever was responsible. I am truly saddened by his passing, however it is good to see he has so many friends. May your faith sustain you in this hard time.
Nancy,
I am saddened to hear of Don’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May friends and family surround you and give you love and strength. Angel

Nancy, it’s been a long time. Where has it gone? I was looking around the web to find you and Don and this came across my computer. I am heart broken. We go along way back. Don was a friend and brother. I will miss him but hope to also see him someday. I hope this finds you well. Love you so much, your friend forever.
