Dear Family,

Please accept my sincere condolence on your loss. The Bible can bring you much hope and comfort at a time like this, because within its pages are the precious promises from our Almighty Creator that soon He is going to end death, sickness and sorrow (Revelation 21:3,4). In addition to that, our loving Heavenly Father has made arrangements through His Son, Christ Jesus, to bring back to life "all those in the memorial tombs" (John 5:28,29). May you find the strength to hold on by meditating on these beautiful promises from Jehovah God.

I am sorry for your loss. May family and friends give each of you comfort along with God's Word. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Don at AT&T/Lucent Technologies. He was such a valuable asset to the company and to all who worked with him. He spoke often of Michael and was so proud of his son. Michael I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you and the Venable family in my prayers. Your dad was a wonderful person to all who were fortunate to know him. He was very special friend.
Sincerely,
Ray Hellinger

Don was a great worker and even a better person. He once sold me a great car well under the value of the car because he knew I needed one. I worked with him for many years at AT&T/Lucent. I remember him as a very warm person that made you feel at ease no matter what the situation. He often spoke of his family and I know he was very proud of Michael and was deeply devoted to his wife. Don will be deeply missed. Thoughts and prayers are with the Venable family.

I was so sorry to hear of Don's untimely passing. We were co-workers for many years at Western Electric/Lucent, and later, neighbors in Forest Oaks. Solveig and I enjoyed many fun times over the years with Don and Kaz, and he will be missed. I am currently visiting family in Illinois and am very sorry to miss Tuesday's Service. I send my heartfelt sympathy to Michael, Melissa, and other family members.
