    We have been praying for Don for a long time. Donna, you kept us posted as to his condition and have been a loving sister. We have mixed emotions that he passed away...sorry, he has left this earth, yet glad he is in heaven and has no more suffering. We are praying for the entire family. Donna, you often told us what a wonderful guy he was and we look forward to getting to know him someday in heaven. Much Love, Roger & Margie
