Mike and to the Chesnut family. So sorry to hear about Don. I will always remember Don when we were growing up. He always gave us a hard time. We knew we had to straighten up when he was on the Police force. Prayers to all. Keep those memories going.
We love Don and Sharon. they are down to earth people and they love the Lord Jesus Christ. Uncle Don will be missed but I didn't say goodbye just I'll see you in a little while. Love Dottie and Mable
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
-Mary Elizabeth Frye
My uncle Don was something else. I think in my 42 years on earth as aggravating as I am I only made him mad once. I was sitting next to him holding the cat and when I was called to set the table for supper I sat the cat in his lap. He was pet the cat but did not want the cat on him at all. He always showed me how much I meant to him by sticking his fingers in my ears or pulling my hair or just trying to poke me in the side. He showed me what a man should be. I am so proud to call him my uncle and I hope he knows how much he means to me. I love you Uncle Dondald. (As I called him!!). I know he’s with grandma and granddaddy now. I love you so much and I hope I make you proud.
