View all 7 ReflectionsMy Uncle Don passed away two days after my 11th birthday. Although we didn't get to have a lifetime to make memories, I will forever treasure the ones we made while he was here. He was tough and wasn't scared of anyone, but he had a soft heart and was a caring uncle. We miss him greatly.
