Jan Ann wrote a sympathy message

“Don was an incredible cousin to me and I pretended at times he was my brother! His smile at fish fries (or at catching a fish!) will be my sweetest memory of him. When he answered the draft to go to Vietnam, my ten year old heart prayed for him every night that God would shield him from the enemy. My visits to him recently showed me his pain & weariness but even then he bragged on his wife, Shawn, grands, & sister Charlotte. Comfort from the Lord is my prayer.. Love y’all, Jan Shaw Vroegindewey”
