Uncle Don you will be missed dearly.
Always one of my favorite people. I will never forget your nickname for me. And all the laughs. RIP. Love you
I miss you so much Uncle Don. I remember all of the funny stories you use to tell over and over even though we all already knew them. Like that time when Jason and I had the day with you and aunt Chris and we got to play in a mud puddle together. It is such a great memory to have. I love you.
