Patrick and Eagleman Family,
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family upon the loss of Don. He was a classmate of my Mother(Ivene -Brickey-Cozort). I went to church with your Dad at Curry Street and became very acquainted with him due to his views on politics, etc. I missed him when he left and went to the West 160 Congregation. You and your family are in my daily prayers/thoughts. May God encourage, comfort, and support you and your family through this difficult time. May God bless each one of you.
In Christian Love,
Amber(Cozort)Redburn

I met Don when he worked with my late Husband, Kent Conard at Better Income Tax Services in Wichita, Ks.
He was a very kind gentle soul. My husband and I both really enjoyed this intelligent sweet man.
May he rest in peace.
