So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ?Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Don and David,

Your dad was a very special and unique person whom I have treasured memories. He loved the both of you dearly and was very proud of both of you. Not everyone had a father like you did and for that I know you are both very grateful and feel very blessed. We will see him again one day.
Blessings and peace to you and your family.

Sharon--so sorry to hear about Don. But, from what I understand, he was doing, up until the end, that which he loved to do--volunteer. I will miss my friend. He was a good person.
