    We are so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Thank you to Don for blessing all 8 of our kids by letting them ride in the combine with you through the years. It is a cherished memory for all of them, right down to our 6 year old, who got his first ride in the combine with you last fall. He was so excited and still talks about it. We pray that Don’s family will be comforted by his memory and most especially with the confidence that comes in knowing he was a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Well done, good and faithful servant.

    Jane, Molly and family, we were shocked to hear that Don had passed. He was a wonderful Christian servant and family man. We always enjoyed his laughter and the kindness he showed to Brian, myself and our family. May the sweet memories that you have comfort you. I know Don heard, Well done good and faithful servant!”, when he met our Lord and Savior. God Bless you all and know you are in our prayer!

    Greetings in Jesus Name, Jane and family. This morning I was sorry to hear announced in Kempton Christian Church that Don had died. I would like to have come to the visitation but last evening my wife twisted her artificial knee joint and is barely able to walk today. So I am staying home with her in case she needs help.
    Please accept my prayers for your loss and my gratitude for Don’s faithfulness to the Lord. As Revelation 14:13 says, “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

    Molly and family,

    My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. It sounds like you were all so blessed to have such a great man as your Dad, and also as a husband and grandpa, I bet he loved that title. Cling tight to your many happy memories with him.
