We all are going to miss Don so much. I will miss his calls and opinions. I feel God takes the good ones home early and Don was top of his list of first class Christian people. Don always cared more about others especially his family. In Don's last days, he was more focused on the well being of his family. Bonnie, you guys are in my prayers. Stay strong for Don and in time you will have so many special memories to smile about. Don lives on in each you his family. Your Alabama friend. Robby Smith P.S. My father Jack send his love and prayers as well
