    We are so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. The Cowles were neighbors to us for many years. We have so many memories on 33rd Street. May your memories of your Dad and family comfort all of you during this difficult time. Prayers sent to all of his family. Sending our deepest condolences from the Mathews family.

    Deacon Don was truly a treasure in the many years that he served at St. Wenceslaus. He loved the Lord and helped us all on our faith journey. We so regret that we weren’t able to attend the services. This holy man of God will be truly missed. Prayers go out to you, Ruth and family for our Lord’s abiding comfort. May His blessings be upon you always.
