It took 14 years for me to come to grips with this. Don was more than a friend to me, he was a father when I needed it like it or not. I only wish I could have told him thank you more than I did. I know he is with God the father singing songs I look forward to hearing. DON was a GOOD AND GREAT MAN that we all could model after. Thank you & I love you bother. Mario

Isa 57:1-2
57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
KJV
To the Skipper family, May God bless you!

Good night Dear Prince. You have fought a good fight, kept the Faith and Finished Your Course. Now God has prepared a Crown of Life for You. You are with Mamma and Daddy, but most of all with Jesus. Life without You will never be the same. Some will try to fill your space but only Jesus can take your place. In my heart forever, Your Little Brother, Steve
