To the Family of Mr. Donald Faust,

My deepest sumpathy for the loss of Mr. Faust; he will be greatly missed. I am so blessed to have know such a wonderful man. He was a great husband, a loving father, and such a sweet person. Anytime that I would talk to him, he was always so interested in what you had to say and he always made me laugh. I will miss him but I know he is at peace with our heavenly father.
Love,
