I thought I saw Don at work today. I Googled his name to see what he was doing these days and found this tragedy. My prayers for his family and friends and for him. I still hear him singing and from the comments see he found a way finally to use that gift to fill others with God's grace. Bless him and blessings be on his family. With respect.
Dearest Robin and family members, we are so sorry for your loss! Our family will be in prayer for all of you! Oh the memories of Don singing at church still floods our minds! We praise God for the years that you two had together! You both brightened many lives! This is not a final goodbye, but will see you again someday when we all get to Heaven! What a glorious time that will be, and we will find Don singing in the choir around the Throne of Father God!
