Hello Gayle, Kim, Stacey & Chris and all of Don&&single&&s family members am so very saddened by the loss of your dear Don. My deepest sympathy is sent to all who knew him. Unfortunately there are no words that will lighten your burden of grief. I do wish I had some for you.
My memories of Don are of a wonderful, happy, family-loving man, with a soft heart for children and a wicked sense of humour. He will live on in your hearts and memories and never will be forgotten. I only hope that God has a sense of humour, because I think he will need one with this angel.
Sincerely
