Larry, and family:
I don't often go to the Reporter for news but for some reason I did today (Sat. 30th), and see your dad's notice! My prayers for your peace and comfort as you hold together with wonderful memories shared with each other, and friends. I remember so vividly the pain of saying Good-by to my dad but the comfort comes with knowing he is happy to be Home! Blessings continue for all of you....Lynne Heim Tyner

"Deek" as I knew him as a young 11 year old watching him play football for CHS was my idol. If I can only be able to be good enough as he was to be a player like him was my goal. I was able to play----but not as good as Don.

Don tread quietly in the community -but was a great support to allot of people and Coldwater CHS Alumini and The Burnside Senior Center.

Aunt Marilyn and Linda, We are sure sorry to hear of Uncle Gene's passing. We know that he wasn't doing well, but it is still a shock. Unfortunately, we are out of the area and will be unable to attend the funeral. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers in the days to come.
