Donald MacLennan
I am very sorry for your family’s loss. Many people have found comfort in the words of encouragement found in the bible at Acts 24:15and Isaiah 25:8. Jehovah God promises to swallow up death forever and bring back all those already lost in death, Luke 7:11-17offers proof of this promise
I am very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Unfortunately, I found out today in 2021. Don and his friend, Tracy, were so sweet. We had many bible discussions and talked about Jehovah and He was happy to know God had a name. We really enjoyed our conversations. I tried to contact him several times at the same phone number I had, it was disconnected. I thought of him again as our family was going through old pictures of my brother Mark’s funeral and there were nice pictures of Don and Kurt. I then did a Google search and now came upon his obituary years later. Don and Kurt were so very kind to our brother, Mark. Motorcross racing was there thing. And Don was somewhat of a father figure for Mark. We are so very sorry for you loss…!
