Don was a very special man, and he will be missed by so many. We always enjoyed visiting with him at our Ewing Reunions. He fought valiantly for many years, and he was an inspiration to all who knew him. We pray the Lord will comfort your hearts and give you grace in the coming days. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
We love each of you,
Don and Mary Anne Seale
