Dear Auntie Gladys, We are all so sorry and saddened by the loss of Uncle Don. He was the greatest Uncle to have and I will miss him very much. Please know that my heart is with you and the rest of the family at this time. We will never forget his hilarious sense of humor and I will only treasure Dad's crazy stories of him and Uncle and their Vegas ventures even more now. Love you...Stay well
Dear Gladys and Family Wow....what a shocking blow. We are so very sad for your family. It's hard to find words of comfort to offer, but we do have your family in our thoughts,and we pray for Heavenly Father to put his loving arms around you at this time. Only about a week or so ago, I (Sheila) ran into Bob at Walmart and we had a real good chat. Then about ten minutes later we (me and Bob) ran into Don, so there we stood for another great chat. Thankful for that last opportunity to visit. Take Care

Gladys and Family, So very sorry for your loss. I remember with fond memories of camping out at Sylvan Lake, such fun times. Don was a very kind person and tons of fun. He will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, at this very difficult time.
