Journal entry by Lauren Hoekstra —
We are so proud of Don for everything he accomplished and the lives he touched. Reading all of your stories and memories is so special. Seeing the articles and posts helps us remember what a legacy he left behind. We hope we can all be together to talk, laugh, cry, and celebrate the amazing man he is someday soon.
We will be having a private burial with our immediate family this week and a Celebration of life at a later date.
Again, thank you for lifting our family in prayer during this time. We are so thankful for all of you and even more thankful our dad/husband/grandpa was loved by so many.
Thank you everyone
