Dear Parkside Family: Thank you for sharing our sorrow in the
passing of Don. The prayers, cards, phone calls, meals and visits
during and after his 16 days of Hospice Care meant so much to all of
us. Pastor Gary and Sue and Pastor Matt provided great comfort to
Don and the whole family. Thank you to all who participated in the funeral and
luncheon. Everything was perfect and Don would have been so pleased with it.
Your kindness is deeply appreciated and will always be remembered.
