Waco, TX Tuesday, October 2, 2018 Sally and family, we are so very sad to hear of your loss. We didn't know until it was too late to attend the funeral or we would have been there. Don was a great guy. I always enjoyed talking to him and of course, he was Dad's best friend. Dad thought a lot of Don and enjoyed hunting with him and sharing stories through the years. Brenda and Mom send their best to you guys, too. We love ya!Susanna Barnard
