Dear Wanda and Family, we are so sorry for the passing of Don. But we know he is in a much better place enjoying a great reunion. May our good Lord carry you through these next days and strengthen along the way. You both are such a special couple to us.

Wanda, our hearts and our prayers are with you! We immediately kicked our prayer for you into high gear as soon as we heard the news. We're unable to be there for the visitation or service due to a medical crisis with Karen last week and subsequent doctor appointments this week. But please accept this big hug from a distance. You've walked with Jesus for many years - and now as you walk through "the valley of the shadow of death," He enables you to "fear no evil" because "You are with me." When you can't walk, we know He'll carry you. Heaven is closer today, and because of the Resurrection of Jesus, there's a wonderful Reunion with Don just over the horizon. We know he's hearing his Master's "well done." We love you, Wanda.
