My memeories of Don go way back as long as I can remember, during the years Dad and Don worked at Super Value. He was a wonderful friend of our family and was light hearted and fun, I always had to work hard to get a word in "edgewise" as he was such a "talker".. Don loved the Lord (that was easy to see) and was a great example over the years at Grandview. 1Thes 4:13,14

Dear Dorothy:
We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Comstock's passing, but are so glad to know that we can see him again someday and he is now free of pain. I still remember well the time that Dorothy and Don took care of our infant son, Tyler, 30 years ago (Tyler just turned 30 today!) when Gene's father passed away and we had to make a trip to Wisconsin for his funeral. That was a HUGE blessing to us. We remember all the days together at Grandview Park Baptist Church and what a blessing and great testimony you were to us. We're praying for you all at this difficult time. Love, in Him, Gene & Tami

We are praying for you and your family.
I had knee surgery week and half ago, so I can not make it to the funeral, but I will PRAY.
