My heart goes out to my cousin Don's family on his mother and father's side. My heart especially goes out to Auntie Sister, Almeta, his children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, friends, church family, and colleagues. When I got the phone call about my cousin Don I felt like screaming and hollering like I didn't want to stop. That's how deep the hurt goes in my heart. I felt like I lost an anchor, we have lost an anchor because he is a loving and caring person. Don was always there for his family and anyone else who needed him. He would have helped anyone. To my cousin Don, there was no such thing as a stranger. I will miss him dearly but I know God is real. God is a good God; He takes care of all of his children and Don is His. Don, we all love you. Take your rest, for God loves you best. –Queen E. Rivers, Stone Mountain, Georgia
