July 19, 2007 is a day I will never forget. I woke up to the phone ringing, calling was Don's mom Kathy. She had bad news to share. Don's body had been found. I knew as soon as she said she had bad news, but it didn't sting till she said the words. I so much wanted to console Kathy, as a mom myself, I can not even begin to imagine what the last five months had been like for her. You see, Don had gone missing in February. But I felt more sad, than I had even thought I could in previous days of not knowing where he was or if he was safe. I tried to hold it together long enough to offer my condolences to Kathy, but I don't even know if she heard it, as I couldn't stop the tears. Upon hanging up, I layed in bed and just cried.


I made this page to share who Don was with others, to keep his memory alive, and so maybe someone can be touched or inspired by Don, and his life and my experience of losing him here on this earth.
Please take the time to read about this man, he was unique, rare, inspirational, encourageing... a real blessing!
