Dear Wilma, Casey and I are so sorry for your loss of Don. We enjoyed Don from being with him at church and some lunches together. God bless you and your family as you mourn for your loss. We know that he is rejoicing in the presence of our God now.
I met Don when I applied for a job in printing services at Kansas Farm Bureau in 1966. I knew nothing about printing, but Don hired me anyway and taught me a trade which allowed me to provide for my family for the 37 years that I worked for Farm Bureau Services.
Thank you Don.
My condolences to the family.
We will truly miss our good Christian brother. Our sincere sympathy to Wilma and the family. We have good memories from church and the Gideons.
My sympathy to the family of Don White. God Bless! I remember him from Kansas Farm Bureau and from Randolph, Kansas, where I am from,
My deepest condolences go to Wilma and the rest of the family for their loss but praise the Lord we know where Don is.
