"Uncle" Don
My parents, Marty and Joyce Freese, were blessed with wonderful friends -- Uncle Don and Aunt Mary Ella are just two of them! There are many wonderful memories from younger days, growing up and visiting the horses in the barn and of boating in the pond! Uncle Don always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye! Sending much love and many prayers during this difficult time, but holding on to the fact that he is whole again and reunited with heavenly loved-ones.
