Rough around the edges

With a heart of gold

Music was your passion

But your songs were never sold

Now that you’re in heaven

You can play to your heart’s desire

For the Lord and all his angels

Forever to admire

Don’s family would like to thank the wonderful nurses and doctors at Memorial Hospital for their patience and care.
