So sorry for your loss. May your Faith and beautiful memories sustain you.❤️
Dear Greg, Debbie, Shelly and Mike, I can’t begin to tell you how heavy my heart is with this news. I loved your father and mother so much and will miss them everyday of my life. They were such an important part of who I have become. I looked up to them, admired them and feel so blessed to have been a part of their lives. I love you all so much and my prayers are with you. Donna
I am so sorry for lost. Prayers out to you and your whole family.
To my cousins Greg, Debbie, Shelly and Mike. So sorry for your loss. I know how your hearts must be hurting. May the pain ease as you remember the great times of the past. I last saw your Dad about a year ago. He always remembered who I was.
My thoughts and prayers to your family. May the memories you hold in your heart help ease your pain in the loss of Don. I know he is happy being reunited with his sweet wife. He is now in Heaven, free from all the pain and suffering of his failing health over the past few months. I have enjoyed caring for him over the past few months and will treasure the conversations over the years while he was in IL, and then recently on the Care center. Your family is in my prayers.
