    Uncle Donald, even though I didn’t get to see you, you were always in my prayers and thoughts. When I told Al and Steve (your great-nephews) about your passing, their comment was “he was my favorite uncle”. Like Mom, you will never be forgotton.
    I couldn’t have had a better godfather (you) or godmother (Aunt Verna).
    May your soul rest in peace. Enjoy being with mom, Aunt Kate, Aunt Verna, Uncle Bob, Aunt Janet and of course can’t forget grandma.
    Love you, Susanne

    Dave, sorry to hear about your Grandfather. From the obituary it seems that there are many generations following him for his legacy to be passed on to.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you all as you go this difficult time. May this Hero rest in peace.

    “Rest your head now, weary soldier. Cast your weapons to the ground. Close your eyes and feel the peace…..Heed not our earthly battle cries. There is no post for you to stand. So rest now as He carries you within His loving hand. ….. Walk in the sunlight of the spirit free of war or pain and fear. Your duty here is done now as ours will someday be, so go with Him now to places only heroes ever see.” – Neva Brooks, ”Hero’s Reward”

    Glad I was able to see him return from his Honor Flight to DC. (thanks Don for including me) He looked very proud as he should be. Thank you for your service, Sir! You had a great career and a great life.

No Hidden Fee Guarantee

Funeral and Cremation costs can be very confusing.  Often times other funeral & cremation providers will quote what seems like a low price, but actually they do not give you the complete costs and there will be hidden add on charges after you have chosen to utilize their services.  We have made it easier to understand by creating our: "No Hidden Fee Guarantee" package plans.
