    My deepest condolences to Mark and the family. Don and my mother (Joanne Poole Stewart) grew up together, even living in a double house side by side at one time. Then He and Paige were neighbors in Santa Clara. May your memories will bring you peace.

    You have my deepest condolences for the loss of Don. I ran The Potter's Pregnancy Center aka Heartbeat of Columbiana Co., for 20 years and knowing Don was always there when I needed a hand with something made the job a great deal easier. He was such a good man. May the Lord bring you comfort.
