Deepest Sympathy
Janet please accept my sympathy on Donnies passing. Even though we lost touch in our walks of life, I'll always remember the good times we had together. He was a special person.
ON MY FRIEND & KIND NEIGHBOR'S PASSING
I used to call Don "The Automotive & Small Engine Whisperer". He worked on my aging lawn tractors, & often we worked together on them. I always enjoyed visiting with him over the years. We were both cancer patients, and we tried to support each other as best we could. We both were patients at Chester County Hospital - a great place. He often talked about his daughter who worked there in the cardiology department.
Don would always talk about his DEAR JANET, KIDS, GRANDKIDS, BROTHERS, & ALL FAMILY MEMBERS. He was proud of them all & appreciated their loving support.
I will always remember him as a wonderful friend, and a person with a great deal of knowledge in his trade - HE KNEW HIS STUFF! Now's the time for him to rest in the next dimension, without pain, worry about earthly things, & the realization that he will be VALUED & REMEMBERED by those who knew & loved him.
