Dear Uncle Don, You have always been loved greatly . I remember being little when we visited you and aunt Pat in Royal Oak. Your big heart ,big smile and silliness was a great asset . You loved each one of your nieces nephews and especially your children. Those are things a child remembers. I always understood your not feeling like you fit in. Sometimes we yearn for acceptance , Our perceptions are different than those who love us. I have always felt like your daughters were my sisters. LOVE is a gift you give yourself. I wish you would have felt that love more deeply. I will be here for the girls always and remember you with Love. May God rest you ,keep you and reunite you with my dad and your siblings .,and the whole family
