Sonja, I am sure this was a very hard message to send. Don, you and your family will be in our prayers. Wyatt

Sonja, I am so sorry to hear this. We are going through a similar issue with my brother and it is heartbreaking. I can't tell you how sad I am for you and your family. He is in a good place and they will take good care of him.

To our 'Big Lake' friends: So nice to receive updates on Don's continued progress as well as the 'new normal' for all of you. Please don't ever feel compelled to keep up with the journaling. When time; great! Hugs! Darleen & Chris

In honor of Don Waltner

Sending heartfelt loving energy to you and your dear family. Praying for healing and well being for all of you.

Praying for quick healing of your whole being.

You are in my prayers and will continue to be until Don is home with you and once again a healthy and active member of your wonderful family. I really appreciate the regular updates you provide through Caring Bridge.

Sandy and family, I am so glad to see that you too can claim a miracle in Don's responding after 5 weeks of being comatose like my husband Miller Stayrook. Praying that the healing and recovery will continue at a steady rate with Don moving to Madonna.

We so appreciate this site to keep everyone updated on Don and relay messages of love, encouragement and hope to the family. Feeling led to help keep it going.

My heart goes out to you and yours. You had a very tough day. You took time for him , reading and singing to him. I think he heard it and just couldn't respond to it. You had the right to cry all the way home!! I understand what you're feelings. You
