My Father was wonderful man and I was very lucky to have him. I'm so glad his struggle is done. I loved him very much . I lost not only a Father but a very good friend.

So sorry for the loss of Don. He was such a nice man with a great sense of humor and will be greatly missed. What a blessing that he is fully healed and rejoicing in heaven. Much love to Sue and the rest of the family. -Mark & Linda La Lone
