Jon, Tom, and Greg - I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a very special man and uncle to me and I treasure all the conversations I had with him. Adam and Andy too have many fond memories of our visits with Uncle Don. I'm very sorry that we will not be able to be at the service because we are out of the country until Jan. 1. My love and prayers are with all of you. Arlene, Andy, and Adam

Cousins, so sorry to hear about your Dad. I have memories of visiting Don and Helen in Clarksville on several occasions. Don was always such a wonderful host. I also remember the two of them coming to visit my family while I was growing up and I remember how he adored Helen. It's funny what you remember about people, but I can picture them at our kitchen table in Beeville (and that was a long, long time ago) and Helen was dressed in a white suit and looked beautiful and Don was looking at her and grinning at everything she said! Would love to be there with you but we are buying the title company Ron has been working for for 10 years and we close on Friday and have so much to get done before then. Will be thinking of you all. I love you guys! Kathy
