Dear Sharon, My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this difficult time. Although the pain of loss will never diminish completely, the passing of time will make it more bearable. When I broke my leg in 1997, Don brought Don Farnsworth by to see me at Hayne's house in town. I stated to Farnsworth in Don's presence that someone once said "you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of true friends you have". I have always considered Don Pennington to be one of them. My best to your children and their extended families. With deepest sympathy, Frank Crane##imported-begin##Frank Crane##imported-end##
Sharon and Family,How saddened I was to hear of Donald's death. I always looked up to Donald as a child because he wasalways like a big brother. We had fun times in Millport for most of my childhood. All of a sudden he was grown and had his own family and I didn't see him very often but often think of him. I was recently looking at the pictures made at Thanksgiving at our house in Birmingham with you all in them. I want to have another family reunion this next year in Millport and I hope you all can come. Donald will be greatly missed by us all. I saw the obit in the Tuscaloosa News. Lane had already called me but my brother, Jerry, saw it and called me. Please let us know if we can do anything. I would love to have the addresses and e-mail of all your children. Know we are with you in spirit if not in person. Elizabeth and I had a long talk this morning via phone about our memories of Donald. Love, Carole & Lamar##imported-begin##Carole McAdams Thomas##imported-end##
