I have so many great memories with Don and Susie and it was a blessing having them as next door neighbors growing up. My sister and I spent alot of time at their house as children and it was so much fun. Don loved to make us laugh and tell jokes. One of the best memories was going over to their house one summer when a cat had kittens in their shed and we would help take care of them. Don always looked out for me and my family growing up and that was always much appreciated. Even now as an adult I enjoyed talking to him when I would visit my parents. They were a part of my major life changes…graduating from high school and college, getting married and having a baby. Don got to know my son over the past few years too. My son loved going to their garden and helping pick tomatoes. I will miss Don and it will be especially hard when I visit my parents and I wont get to chat with him or wave as I drive away. God bless you Don and Susie. Such a pleasure growing up with you Don, please continue to watch out for me and my family. -Lindsay, Ben and Griffin Cox
Good Bye my dear friend. I will miss you like no one will ever be able to understand. May you rest in peace. I love you man.
Aunt Susie, I am so sorry for your loss. It was so touching to see Don care for you during your ordeal a couple summers ago. I am so very sorry that Mom and I were not able to get to the service yesterday. She really wanted to be there. May God be with you now. Love, Denise and Margaret
