Our Christmas will never be the same since God called you home. I will miss the excitement in your eyes when I opened a gift from you, your humor and boisterous laughter, and all the love and joy you brought to everyone around you. Celebrate with the angels Daddy and watch over us. I still feel you all around me. I know now you will finally get your Lexus and hippopotamos this year. I love you.

On this first Father's Day apart,
I wanted you to know;
I'll forever hold you in my heart,
And never let you go.

Missing You my Jelly 'Ed, on Father's Day and always.

I was honored to work with Don at New York Life in New Orleans in the 1980s. He was a fine gentleman of the sort there are too few in the world.
