Thank you, Rebecca,  for providing further remembrances of your Dad and the memorial service in which God's presence was so clearly felt.  And Mikaela has such a wonderful God-given talent!   If permissible,  I would appreciate your email address.

Don was my friend for more than seventy years. We were business associates for fifteen years. His commitment to Christ never wavered. His family was very important to him!

Don’s death reminds me that no matter the length of our (human) days, those days are a mere blip on the timeline of eternity.  I look forward to fellowship in heaven with this very special child of God.

I regret not being with those who celebrate Don’s life tomorrow.
