Donny,
I won't ever forget you. I think of you and the fun our group had together all the time. I still drive by your family home on Ontario Street and look at it and think of you and Jimmy. I hope you're having fun up there and not causing too much trouble! Love you always,

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
August 6, 2008
Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

The Downes Family,
Donny was an extremely talented and artistic individual - always sharing his great sense of humor. Donny was loved by many friends and family, past and present. Donny has finally found the peace he was searching for. My hope is that your sorrow soon will turn to happier memories and times. With deepest sympathy.

Judy, Jimmy, Mary, Shawn, Gerri Ann and Michelle - I was so sad to hear about Donny. We were all so close for such a long time, I feel like I have lost a member of my family. Don was such a gifted, intelligent man. He was way too young. I will see all of you tomorrow night.
With love - Darlene (Busch) Carlo
