Don and Billy. Love bare-footed Don. 

The death of Don was a sad time for all of us. Our ‘growing up days’ were simple - full of  fun, swimming, name-calling (that still happens - even at funerals - shame on you Jerry Ross Vinson), eating, crying, laughing, hiding, and on and on.

Sunday afternoons together ... we are now our parents. 


Paths to different places. Times together and apart. 
We were all back together at Don’s funeral. 

We are all different. 
Thank God for that.
We are all the same.

Thank God for that.

Don and sister Carolyn

Terry, Billy, and Judy Nash

Will get a photo posted of all “14” of us soon 14” pic posted soon. I promise. 

I love the ‘14’ we were and the ‘11’ we are now. 

Thank you, Donald Lee Goff.
You were the best of the best! 
I love you... we love you! 


Always ... Bussell
