Dear Donna and family. Sorry to hear about Donnie's passing. Am glad I had a chance to visit with my Dad a few years ago for Aunt Jennie's 100th Bday. Was very nice of you and Donnie to invite us over for breakfast. I was struck by all the carvings he had done displayed in the living room. Impressive. Our Mom had many special cousins and Donnie was one of them. Wishing you peace and comfort in your memories.

Dear Donna, my sympathies to you and your family. I was pretty young when you visited our family in Two Rivers and the times we traveled to visit your family. You and Don's gentleness is what I remember most. Sweet, caring and down-to-earth people. Sending you lots of love.
