We are very sorry for your loss. How fortunate all of us were able to re-connect at the family Re-Union. Thank you Jackie & Mike for hosting and providing my husband and I with a connection to my Dad’s side of the family (Allan Jones).

We are thinking of you all today and are so sorry we’re unable to be with you today due to self-isolation requirements, as you celebrate uncle Donald’s life. I know Mom (Marie) is thinking of you all also and would have loved to be there with you if she could.
Brad- when I was a kid, grandpa Loran bought me an electronic organ kit that I had to assemble myself. I couldn’t make it work and uncle Donald was patient and skillful at teaching me how to get it working. I was awestruck at his skill and knowledge! This inspired my lifelong interest in electronics. He will be greatly missed. Rest peacefully Uncle Donald.
My condolences on the loss of your husband, father, grandfather, etc from a distant relative (Robert Milner’s great granddaughter).
