Don was always very kind to me and a loving “Papa” to my son Jacob. I miss him, but I know he loved the Lord and is in His presence where there is no more sickness. I look forward to saying hello to him again someday and giving him a bear hug. I pray for his family as I know how much he means to them and I know they miss him so much.
