My dear Betty and family,
 I will always remember the winter nights when Frank and Don would get together to sharpen their skis!  
It was a rite of passage as they were great friends and enjoyed talking about  just everything. But mostly about SKIING!  He was a beloved member of Lancaster Ski Club where we all met so many years ago, and he and you, Betty were lifelong friends.  Lucky us, we were also close neighbors!
He was the very best of men, and enjoyed his long life with you Betty, and his big family and we were blessed to have  been  included  amongst his wide circle of dear friends.
you will be remembered  every time the snow falls Don ⛷❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️Much love, Noreen and family, Colorado.

Betty, 
I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss.  Words cannot express how saddened I am by Donald’s passing.  I love the both of you like family.  Growing up next door to you was a privilege and joy.  I have so many fond memories of you both.  I am so blessed to have known Donald and I am also grateful my own daughters got to know him.  I am especially thankful we got to visit with you both just a few weeks ago.  You both are the greatest inspiration to what love and family mean! ❤️
With sincere love, Lisa (McHose) Mullen, Corey, Emily and Natalie

Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, acccording to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ!

Our sympathies and my sincerest condolences go out to Betty, Darlene, Alan and the entire extended family. 
 
I grew up across the street from them, and actually still have the piano that my Mom bought from them. Raised as loving neighbors to both Don and Betty, I can honestly say that I am a better person for having known “Donald” as we called him. I was devastated, heart broken, and torn by the news. Ironically, My husband and I were just talking about them on Sunday afternoon. We wereally stating that we needed to see them the next time we were visiting Pennsylvania. 
It is with a heavy heart that we can’t make the service. We are out of state. Please give my family the sincerest wishes for a beautiful service. Donald was such the gentleman, and such a wonderful human being. My husband really looked up to him with such high regards, ad did my entire family. I hope and pray that time heals the holes left in everyone”s heart by his passing.
 
With love to all,
 
Cathy Potter (Bob and Sue McHose”s daughter) and Dave, Bobbi and Darren Potter

Betty and family,
How so very sorry I am to hear of Donald’s passing..
Betty and Donald have been great friends for so many years, and I sometimes thought of them in  parental roles since moving away from mine.                       I so enjoyed my talks with Donald. Such a delight!  His family was usually the topic of conversation with pride.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you now and the time ahead,
Affectionately,
Carole Ator and family.
