It's been 2 months since we laid my dear husband to rest. Seems much longer. I miss him more than anyone can imagine. He was 1 of a kind. I have never known a more gentle, loving, good, honest, hardworking man as Don. When he held me, I felt so safe, nothing could hurt me. Now it's all gone. Memories, thank goodness for memories. I look forward to a happy reunion with Don, Donnie and Cindy, when we can all share or memories.
Uncle Don you are an awesome man! Every time I hear Kenny Rogers songs they will always remind me of you <3....You sure are missed, hey you are in Heaven with a lot of wonderful ANGELS....Such a strong man will never truly be gone, for he has left such a loving presence in our heart.... RIP Uncle Don I love you!!!!
This was very sudden and I didn’t expect it to happen. It hurt when he didn’t get to come home for the holidays and watch jeopardy or wheel of fortune with me and grandma again. It feels likes theres an empty space when i come over now. On the bright side it’s good to know that he’s up in heaven with his kids with no pain. Even though holidays didn’t feel the same with him being gone, i’m glad he’s in a better place. I’m glad he was up in heaven celebrating with my aunt and uncle, and he will always be watching over us.
It’s with a heavy heart that I write this. Mr. C was an amazing human, and one to be admired. He was always kind, gentle, sweet and soft spoken. His smile lit the room and he would get a glimmer in his eye with every smile.
When he spoke, you wanted to hear everything he had to say. He was so knowledgeable, and humble. He will forever be my “Mr. C”.
He will be missed greatly and thought of fondly. I love you Mr. C. I am happy you’re at peace with all the family in Heaven. They sure are lucky to have gained another Angel. Until we meet again, Rest In Peace ❤️ Deana and Gina
Keith, we are sending our prayers to your family during this difficult time. May God speed healing and comfort to you all. I never did meet your Dad, but you've ALWAYS spoke so highly of him...He sounds like a wonderful man and I'm sure he is going to be dearly missed by all that knew him... ~ Rest in peace Mr. Collier ~
God Bless,
Lisa and Wade Keller
Our families lived next door to each other ‘forever’. I remember many shared celebrations over the years. Don always had a smile and a kind word. Some of my fondest memories are of Don and my Dad and another neighbor Joe sitting just inside the garage talking and laughing. He was a family man who loved his wife and children and treated the rest of us as family. He will be missed and always loved and respected.
