My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Family. Had the great blessing of serving with Don in the USAF. Dont get any closer to anyone than when you go to War with a brother like him and he was top notch. For someone of his character, it says a lot about Ms Margarets. Cant wait to see her in heaven one day. Please know you folks will remain in my Prayers. I truly know how very difficult it is when someone so precious to the Family goes Home to be with our Lord before were ready. What a treasure! God bless you all!
