Paulita so sorry to hear the passing of your father. May God comfort you through this time.

It was always a pleasure seeing Don at Walnut Grove, and also having Juanita as a resident at Fayetteville City Hospital. They are sorely missed.

Donne Lee, we loved your dad so much! He had such an awesome sense of humor & was such a sweetheart. Cotton & Joyce loved him a lot too! I bet they are telling jokes & laughing together in Heaven. You & your family are in our thoughts & prayers.

Hi, Just learned today that Don has passed away. I first met him when he spent every day with Juanita at City Hospital. He came to know my Dad who was at City and my Mom. Dad and Don had WWII in common. After Dad passed away and later Juanita, Don and my Mother became close friends. They enjoyed several years of great companionship. I was happy my mother had Don in her life. Donne Lee and Becky were with our family when my mother passed away. Don had just left after a long night. Thank you for including the pictures of my Mom in your photo tribute. I wish you all the very best and know that with time your loss will become more bearable. God Bless, Bob
