Donovan Currey says
Muff, Mary and Family,
Don was one of my best friends as I grew up in Jordan and I have fond memories of the many hours we spent building play roads and dams (like his Dad built), swimming in the creek, and then later playing some sport together. I always enjoyed seeing Don whenever I returned home, but these opportunity were few…He was one of the most kind hearted people I ever was around and was always nice to everyone. May God provide you with his blessings and grace to get you through this difficult time. May God Bless you all. Donovan
