Although I was unable to make Don's funeral, my greatest condolences to his family and friends. I cared for "Grandpa" at Metron of Cedar Springs and he was always understanding when I had school and would ask me when I would be in next to care for him. I loved him like family and he was always such a sweet heart. I remember going in every morning I worked and giving him a hug and a kiss, he would say love ya hun. I am glad he can now be at peace. He will be missed tremendously.
