May many happy memories help you to comfort one another. As you throw your burdens on God above to strengthen you through this difficult time. Psalms 55:22
Don was the kind of guy you want to remember. I just remember how much he cared for Ashley and how well he and Nancy got along. I remember him teading me me about dressing up in the Barney Suit. He loved you guys and I know you don’t need me to tell you that.
So Nancy and Ashley this is for you:
While you are hurting it might be hard to do.
Get lost in the live and the memories of a life you cherished. Not in the paradigm of life, death, and time. For love is a precious gift and meant to leave you with a heart full of wonderful memories no one else can steal or quite know the full joy of… this kind of love
You can never be prepared to hear this kind of news.
Ir to feel the heaviness in your heart
That makes you feel so so sad.
But wind the sunshine’s, remember Don an how he shinned too.
Remember his hearty laughter that filled any room, and his irrestible spirit.
When you feel the wind blow and tpuchbuour skin just just know that he touched your life gently too.
Remember his seemingly touch exterior that was really such a generous heart and a teddy bear deep inside.
Remember the moments that bring joy to your heart because that’s the place he would want you to start.
Start with life not death.
Remember the way his smile made you feel and how his sense of humor warmed your hearts
Remember what made him down to earth and real.
The encouraging moments you shared and how he made you feel.
Remember the hugs you shared and be content knowing how much he cared.
You will still hurt
You will still cry
Some days you’ll wonder how you’ll get by
In those tough moments don’t worry
Gods got you… in his palm
As we celebrate the life of Don
We know love is for always
Love is energy and energy lives inside you
In your heart and soul and mind!
You will never stop loving because
Love never dies.
