Uncle Don was always bigger than life. When we would come to visit or had family get togethers he never failed to speak to me. He will be greatly missed. Love you! (Sending love and prayers to Aunt Evelyn, Pam and family.)
Praying for the family.
Dear Pam:
Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Very sorry to read of the loss of your father. Take care of each other.
Dear Pam, I saw your dad’s name in the Indy Star obituary column. I went to the funeral home website to determine it was the Don I knew. I am terribly sorry for your loss. I’m sure you know you were blessed to have him for so many years. I would love to catch up with you. When you can, send me a short email with your contact information to blueiris3@aol.com.
