Rosalie, Tammy and Mike, We were saddened to hear that Don had passed away. Mike, I have many happy memories of Don in our “growing up years” in Hull, especially from Boy Scouts. I received an email from Sunny Hull who was in Quincy last weekend and saw Don’s obituary in the paper. Alice and I extend our sympathy. Robert and Alice Distlehorst
You folks are certainly in my prayers today and in the weeks to come. May your wonderful memories of your loved on give you stablility and strength in the weeks ahead.

Tamy,
You have my deepest sympathy. I had full intentions of stopping to give you a hug, but I had a 5:30 meeting and worked clear up to time. It usully lasts an hour, but of course it lasted til almost 9. I got so wrapped up in the meeting I forgot until I got home.
I know you are exhausted, and to say your Father is in a better place, is somewhat comforting, yet does not, and never will fill the void.
May God shower his grace and blessing on you, and your family, giving you the strength you need to help each other and make it through this time of sorrow and grief.
Take care pretty lady. You are in my prayers.

Rosalie & Tammy, I was so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. I always thought he was a great man and just wanted you to know I was thinking of you all.
So sorry to hear about Don’s passing. We were out of town and just returned to Quincy from vacation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
