Don was my mother's favorite brother and spoke of him often. She told of his kindheartedness and loving nature and of his devotion to his faith, his family and his loving wife, Bev. My mother once said that her childhood was filled with men of substance, like her brother Don, and she always felt protected from danger. He was one of her heroes and she admired him throughout her life. As she molded her own children into men, her most ardent advice was to, "...be more like your uncle Don." Don will always be that role model that we will never forget!
God looked upon his garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew you would never
Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
