Velma, I was talking to Claranne today and learned of Don's passing. i have such fond memories of visiting Grandma Dufer and playing with Don and Connie in the huge sandpile that always seemed to be in the driveway and eating the great chocolate rolls Grandma made for us. Please know our love and prayers are with you at this time. Love, Corabel and family.

We were so sorry to read of Don's passing. We enjoyed sharing the table with both of you at the class reunion earlier this year.

I had always meant to contact Don to remember old times from Petersburg and the Petersburg Baptist Church that we both attended when younger. His mother was friends with my mother. My sympathy to Don's wife may golden memories bring her comfort.
