My dearest friend. Seems like just yesterday we met for the first time as neighbors. Never thinking that us becoming neighbors would lead to one of the greatest friendships I've ever had the pleasure of saying was mine. Always seeing you with that wonderful bright loving smile, and always have a funny thing to say. You knew how to brighten the room even on my worst days. Coming and keeping me company, kids playing, summer cookouts, crazy goofy jokes, all the music we listened to on our phones making fun of some of the lyrics because they made no sense. Hard to believe all these things are only in my memory now. I miss you so much. My shoulder to listen and never judge. Your friendship is valued so much in my heart. I hope you are doing what you love up there! Keep painting the world with the smile we all know and love in a different way now. The brightness of the Sun reminds me of the light in your eyes as you and I talked about Kalli. Can't wait to see the flowers this spring once you bring them to bloom. Your laugh, smile, caring personality is one thing not a soul will forget. You're forever in my heart, always on my mind and constantly in my thoughts! Love and miss you dearly my friend!

A former student, friend and considered one of the family, Don was a loving and caring individual and father.  We will always remember his ear to ear smile and warm heartedness.  His comfort and kind words as well as support through our lose of Jackie were more than anyone could imagine  We will miss you dearly. 
Uncle C and Aunt D

My thoughts go out to Kalli and her mother

Jenny and Family,
Sorry for your loss. Are thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love you guys Ronnie and Cheryl.

My thoughts an prayers go out to Don's family. May God comfort you all in your time of sorrow.

Prayers and strength for all his family. So sorry we cannot be there to support everyone. Love always Dion and Alice

We love you Donnie. I know you are with the Lord. I know you are with MImi and all your other loved ones gone before you. Rest in peace until we meet again.Our love and prayers are with all the family.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. Don was a great guy. He will be missed by many. But never forgotten. R.I.P. Don.

My sweet sweet grandson, you are missed.  You are loved.  You brought so much to all our lives!  Give your PawPaw hugs from us.

Don, 
We were only neighbors for a short time. The girls and I are surely going to miss you. You were such an out going charismatic person and always made us laugh. Our deepest condolences go out to your family. You will live on in Kalli for sure, she is so much like you. You will always be remembered. Love Always Nikki and the Girls

To Dons family. I loved working with him years ago.had a heart of gold and did a lot more than what was asked of him we had a good time hanging out .God be with your family.

Words can not express my deepest sympathy. It is against all nature to have to bury your own child. I can't believe he still looks like that little boy I use to babysit. Thoughts and prayers for you Jenny, the girls and the rest of the family. God be with you and comfort you.

So sorry for your loss Jenny, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers, sorry we live so far away and cant be there with you and your family, but please believe we are there in spirit, one day we will all be together in heaven, we love all of y'all.

Beth, I'm so sorry! Many prayers to you and your family. You know I'm here if you need anything. Love you - Chelle
