Donna, I read of your husbands passing. My sincerest condolence to you and your family.
Donna you and your family are in my prayers.
So sorry for your loss. I served with Don in the National Guard. He was a really great guy. He will be missed.
Darin, I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers are with your family.
Darin,
my deepest sympathy to you and your family. May God comfort you during this time. Being human, we are selfish and want our loved ones here with us. But we know they are in a far better place than we are, with no pain, sorrow or worry. And some day we will see them again.
My condolences to Don’s family. I have known Donna and her family for most of my life, and admire them all, as did my parents Leo and Mildred. Special prayers for Donna who suffered with him in his illness. – Jacque Fifer
Donna was a bride’s maid in my wedding many years ago.

Donna. I will be in touch with her.

Heard through the internet from Nancy Mays that your husband had died. I did know he had been in hospice. Just want you to know we will remember you in our thoughts and prayers.

Donna, Fred, Darin and Donita: We are all so sorry that Don has left our mountian top for a better place. The mountian is pretty close to heaven you know. You all have always been more than great neighbors, you are family to us. Don’s laughter and open heart will be missed by many.
Feel our prayers, love and hugs,
Joyce and family.
Darin and family,
I’m so sorry about your loss. I only met him a few times, but he had a great sense of humor
and was so nice. What a relief that he won’t have to suffer anymore.
My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Donna, the email went our to classmates about Don’s death, and I have been thinking about you and praying for you. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that your health is remaining good. I would like to see you. Hugs, Carol
Donna & family,
I am so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. I hate to think another of our Fayetteville High School Class of 1955
has slipped away for us. Death can steel our loved ones away from us but never take the memories that will warm your hearts in the days to come.
Sincerely, Katie Day McCoy
Dearest Donna and Family, our sincere sympathies to you at this sad time. I have many fond memories of the Hahn and Eshelman kids in our childhood days in Prophetstown. May sweet memories of Don bring you comfort and peace now and always.
Love and Aloha,
Carol Koza
