Mark & Family, We are thankful that Don won’t have to be in this world with any more pain. You will surely miss Don. The fact still remains that even being in Arizona we will miss him especially when when we do have the opportunity to be back with everyone. We are praying that all of the good memories and good times will help your sorrow and provide comfort.
God Bless Always, Keith and Dottie
Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I worked with Don "Fleck" at Thermacore, Inc. He was my mentor with Contract Administration. He was a very kind and wonderful man and had a great sense of humor… he will be missed. My sincere condolence goes out to all family members at this very difficult time. Kind Regards, Sue Dussinger
Dear Mark and Lori,
