Don,
The sadness in my heart cannot even be put into words, but with that pain comes the relief and understanding that you are now free from pain, and also the happiness of knowing that you are in paradise with our Lord. We have known each other for over 50 years and I hope you know what you meant to me. You are and always will be my true brother.
Sitting at you services at Brookdale Christian Church, I came to understand what a truly unique person you were. Hearing of the relationship you had with Pastor Jim and his love for you and his compassion for your trials in life was inspirational. You would have been so proud of your kids. They along with their spouses and children honored and praised you and I hope you were watching with that big grin of yours on your face. It was truly amazing to hear of your relationships with each and every one of them. Their love and admiration for you is priceless.
As I sat there and listened to each of them talk about your quirks and mannerism, I whispered to Charlie “it is unbelievable but it sounds like they are talking about you”. I married Don’s twin. Little did I know that Ray’s family was saying the same thing about him. From the Honeymooner’s skits (which Charlie and I do with each other often) to the obsession with “garbage night”, we all realized that your mom didn’t only give birth to three boys, she had triplets!
So my beloved brother Don, Rest In Peace in the arms of our Lord. It was my honor to be a part of your family for so many years and I will cherish forever my memories of you. Thank you for all the laughs and love. Until we meet again - I’m on the runway now!
Love Deb
