Tammy,
It's been years since I have seen you and Donald. I remember both of you from SHS and the thoughts are good ones. I was shocked when I read the obituary Sunday morning. I pray that God will comfort and keep you and your entire family as you live your life without your loved one. You are thought of.

It is with tremendous sadness to learn of the passing of my friend and brother Donald “DREW MAXX” Drew. Donald was like a brother to me and whenever we saw each other it was like we were never apart. Donald and I spent many summers together in Sandy Mount Manor. We were teammates in high school. I know for a fact that Donald Drew had a very big heart for the people close to him. He is one of my favorite people in the world. Tammy I remember the day that Donald told me that you were the one for him. I know he loved you very much and you two are a great couple. Tammy, Angela and I are praying for you and your family. God has Donald, you and your family in his hands.
