So sorry to hear of Don's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Today is a day of remembrance but also a day of celebration. A day we look to the people surrounding us who have come together to acknowledge a soul dear to our hearts. To me this  40 day journey to heaven sums up the lessons I’ve learned from Babi. He taught me about hard work, what life has to offer, what I can obtain because I am willing to try but the most important lesson I ever learned from Babi was the meaning of family. I look around at this table and I see so much of him. The value and  the importance of what I’ve built. And I built it because his voice echos in my mind. Nothing matters more than which you leave behind. And staring back at me now I see the future. The future of stories, the future of accomplishments, the long lasting life in which we are promised if we love one another and seek to do better and see better in each other. So today I know Babi is home, home with God and grandma and the family that left us years ago. He is looking down on us. And all I know is the weight I feel of his hand on my shoulder urging me to take care of these five beautiful children, to respect family and devote myself to them. And with that I will accomplish the best lesson of all. Love more, give more and expect less and one day you will be remembered by those who sit at a table and understand life is what you give not what you get.

And this here is what it’s all about. 
Whether you’ve ever been  lost down a road, or flying in high in life with success. No matter the challenge or triumph. The key to it all is family. 
We all came together to say goodbye ( a tremendously hard and heartbreaking farewell) to the patriarch of the Azem family. 
We cried, laughed , hugged and didn’t want to say goodbye. 
I think I can speak for all of us that without each other this wouldn’t have been the same farewell. 
God bless my entire family both immediate and extended. It’s a true testament of how our bones were built out of the love  that Daut and Rose laid the foundation. 
Love everyone for all the support you all have know idea how much the outpouring support means to each of us.

Our Deepest condolences To The Family On Dons Passing, Don,Rose,And The Rest Of The Family Were Always So Wonderful Anytime We Were Together. I'll Carry The Azem Families Kindness In My Heart Always. R.I.P.       All Our Love, John, Marylyn And Jaeseok Constantine, South Korea

Thinking of you all and sending our love and best wishes. Any other time and we would have been there to support you and say our goodbyes to Xhaxhi Daut.  We have many great memories of him that will live on forever. Love to all, Gaz, Carolyn & family

Dear Ramsey and Corie and entire family of Don's ,
              Our deepest condolences. Don brought joy, happiness,and great stories to all who knew him.  He will be greatly missed,but his memories will never be forgotten. We will continue to keep the entire family in our prayers. Don and Rose loved you all and everyone.                         

When life throws you in a foreign country, with no parents or relatives around to guide or support you, God sends His angels to fulfill this. One of these was Uncle Daut (Xha Dauti) for me. His guidance and fatherly advice was God sent for a young immigrant like myself. I found the warmth and love of a family in his welcoming house. Uncle Daut (Xha Dauti) and Aunt Rose (Halla Rose) became truly loving parents at a moment that I needed the most. May his memory be eternal! 
My prayers and condolences to his children and family. 


Sympathy and prayers for all of the family and friends of Don.  Memories of Ben’s Clubhouse, where the neighborhood gathered regularly, and summer evenings sharing wine and cheese in our yards.  These treasured times will never be forgotten with both Don and Rose.  I will open one last bottle and toast you my friend!  Laurel Quinn

I very sorry for your lost.
My heart goes out to you and your family. 
 Love you Ace and Stephanie. 

The Lott family sends prayers of comfort for the entire family. Mr. Azem was such a wonderful neighborhood historian for my girls. He willingly talked with my girls about his life adventures and all the experiences of growing up when he did. He had a warm, talkative personality and he will be missed.  

The legacy of Daut Azem is the Beautiful, loving  Family he and Rose nurtured and encouraged with great love and they received the same in return.  Daut’s Life was an amazing journey and his story is “ The American dream”.  Daut and Rose were the couple you hoped to be seated with at social functions.  They leave us with Wonderful memories and a beautiful extended family.  When I think of them , I  smile.

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.  I have special memories of Uncle Don.  He had a wonderful smile and a sparkle in his eyes.  He always loved sharing good life advice.  Please find comfort in your memories and in the loving family and friends that surround you at this time.

Much Love, 
Lori Koch and Family
