R.I.P Uncle Don! That is the only name I knew him by. I miss his whole family. His Mom Naomi took my Mom Evelyn Bell Watts under her wing. His two sister's Bernice & Geraldine were closer to my mom, than her real sister's. he had a younger brother (uncle) Leonard (Mr. Cool)…..& cant forget his nephew Lenny Smith. They have all gone to Glory. See you when I reach!! Bernita Bey & Cecily Gardner, His children & their families...you have my sincere condolences.
