My love and prayers to sweet Jeanetta, my special friend from long ago. You blessed my life with your kind heart and loving ways as you did for Don and Charles. Always and forever. Becky Cooksey
Thanks for being a “GREAT”Great Uncle to me. I remember trying to figure out how your own brother Dwayne would of been like (my grandfather, who I unfortunately, did not get to meet) through how you were. And as a wondering child, I thought if my grandpa Teague was anything like his brother Don then he was an amazing man too. Thanks to your wife, Jeanetta and you always writing to me. Pushing me whenever I was in bootcamp in the Marines. And with everyone’s encouragement. I made it! We love you, always have, & always will and you will be sorely missed in our family, Great Uncle Don.

I have no doubt you’re in heaven playing cards and drinking coffee with my daddy, i have so many wonderful memories of yall. Much love to your family!
You walked me down the aisles to marry your son as my family cant travel from another country for my special day. You were there when I received my degree, when I become a US Citizen, and always celebrated me as if I was your own. You and Mom were up three oclock in the morning, waiting for your granddaughters arrival.
Thank you Dad; for everything, and many things that I am unable to mention. You were the perfect Father-in-Law to me. Although my heart breaks that you left us, you will always be in our hearts. Your granddaughter will know how great of a man, husband, Dad, & Papa you were. Until we meet again, we love you so very much!
You and Mom always made our Holidays fun and special.
The Teagues and my family were intertwined as I was growing up. New Years Eve parties together and many nights my parents would play cards with Don and Jeanetta. One of the stories that they used to laugh about was that when we would drive down the road I would stand in the backseat and put my arms around Dons neck. Loved him!! They were my parents best buddies! So many great memories!
Jeanetta, I send my sincere condolences to you, my dear friend. Although we haven’t been in contact in years, I cherish our friendship. You were as a 2nd mother to me the years we worked together and for that I’m ever so grateful. You are in my prayers. Love you much.
Dear Jeanetta, Charles, and Family; Cindy and I are so very sorry to hear about Don. Our prayers are with you and all your family. God Bless!
