Don Willmon was my uncle and more like a father to me! The day you left broke our hearts! We still feel the sick feeling of unbelief and hurt that goes beyond words! You are still loved dearly, still missed, and there is still sorrow in my heart for our loss as a family, a community and your coworkers and friends!
I don’t know how other families make this journey but ours has only been through God’s mercy and grace!
