How long I have known you two. I was so saddened by Don's passing. What a great man he was. He will never be forgotten. I have so many memories growing up with the two of you, your Mom, Don's Mom, my Mom and Dad. My prayers are with you and your family, Muriel.

Muriel, Lee, Jill, and Troy,
We are saddened to hear of Donovan's passing and have been praying for you. GOD will comfort you and envelope you in His love in greater depth now and the days, months, years ahead. To have Christ in one's life and as their Savior is the most important choice because then we know our hope is in Him and we are Heaven bound! We know the promises He gives us in His word!
He will be so missed by you and tons of people! He was a wonderful man with a big smile and so friendly and always willing to help! What an example he was!
In His love,
Jule and Pat

Dearest Muriel and Family.
We are so sorry to hear the sad news of Donovan passing away. He was a great man, always thinking of others, doing so much for the community. He will leave a big empty spot in everyone's life. We are sending a card, too, but wanted you to know we are keeping each of you in our thoughts and prayers. May God wrap his loving arms around each of you and comfort you in the days ahead. We love you. Larry & Alice

I was so saddened to hear of Donavon's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Muriel, Lee, Jill, & family at this time. I always stop in at Warroad Motors when I come home and it never failed, he was always there with a smile and those blue eyes. He was very loved and will be missed. He was a big man with an even bigger heart, Donavon was one of a kind. May you find the strength you need in our Lord's loving arms. Hugs to you all.
