Uncle Don will truly be missed. We loved him so MUCH! We always looked forward to his visits and enjoyed every moment. He was so funny and loved his family dearly, especially his nieces. I will never forget when he came to visit me here in Conroe just to see how I was doing. It meant so much!!!!!! Gwen, I hate we are not there with you to say goodbye but under the current Covid situation. I hope you understand. Love, Lisa
