Tribute to Donald R. Trosper

            Christian love and heartfelt sympathies go out this week to Rhea Trosper and family in the loss of Rhea’s husband, Donald. I will always remember my friend Don, for his wonderful personality and how he could light up a room with his charming smile. He loved to joke with everyone and have a good time with his many friends. I will always remember meeting Don after he married my sweet friend, Rhea and how very happy and in love they were. God truly blessed Don and Rhea when he brought the two of them together to share each other’s lives. Rhea, my thought and prayer will be with you and may God bless and hold you in the palm of his hand today, tomorrow and always.
