Deb and I were in the same graduating class from North Union. That let me see Don often. He was always smiling. There was joy and kindness coming through him. I am sure his faith, his gladness to have survived the war, and his fine family gave those qualities to him. May the Lord bless the family through this time.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Borland family. I've always found him to be a very kind and gentle person... and whenever we talked, he always had a smile on his face. I know that he will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Rest in Peace, Donald..

I am sorry for your loss, Donald was a great man. He welcomed me as a fellow soldier with a big hug when i first came to the Veterans Day assemblies at NUES. We spoke and gave hugs every year before leaving the school, i am truly honored to have known him.
