  1. Victoria D Butler Relation to Deceased: Family Friend Ann I extend my most heartfelt condolences to you for the loss of your Dear Husband. I remember that Don always had a smile on his face. Even when I called you, I could hear the smile in his voice. You two have such a wonderful relationship, the love you shared was felt by everyone in your presence. I will remember Don fondly, and I will be there for you, my dear friend. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

  2. Sandy & Ray DeMarco Relation to Deceased: Friend Our thoughts and prayers are with Ann and the entire Ignatowski family. We will always the great person he was. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips

  3. Patricia Farrell Relation to Deceased: cousin I will always remember the motorcycle ride up the hill and back whenever we went over. Even tle last time my family and i saw Don he took my oldest son and I on the quads.He always called me Padatricia. I am sure he & Buffy are playing in the woods right now. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips

  4. Laurie Cavuto Bilovesky Relation to Deceased: cousin My father was always very fond of Don. Because of this, I spent a lot of time with Don at our family parties. He was a warm, loving man who never had a negative word to say about anyone. He will be greatly missed. My best to Ann & family. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker

  5. Donald L Pero Relation to Deceased: Friend of Anne Marie Anne, My prayers are with you at this difficult time. I recall Jeff High reunion meetings where you and Don were gracious hosts. It has been a long time but I have not forgotten. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips

  6. Dale R Szczech Dear Ann, Gene and Family: My deepest condolences on the passing of Don. We have so so many fond memories of wonderful times shared together.

My Prayers, Friendship and Love laways Dale Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

  7. Dale & Brenda Eddy Relation to Deceased: friend “Dad” was a cherished friend & fellow ATVer. We’ll miss him buying our “senior coffee” before & after our riding adventures with the group.We were all amazed at how Don could ride through mud and come out spotless! He was a true gentleman and we’ll miss his great smile, witty humor and compassion.Our deepest sympathy to Don’s wife Ann, whom he always referred to as “my beautiful spaghetti-bender!” The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody

  8. “Cutie Pie” OuYang Relation to Deceased: godchild Uncle Don was the most wittiest person I’ve ever met in my life. He always had the last word. He was a good man with a big heart and he has the best wife in the world. I will miss him dearly but I’m so glad he was in my life. I have so many fond memories of him. I love you Uncle Don and Auntie Ann, you are so in my thoughts right now. Love, “Cutie Pie” The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.
