Dearest Debbie, Benji, and Christopher,
You all are in our prayers. We will all miss Donald so much. His laugh was priceless, and his sense of humor unforgettable. I am glad we have remained close through the years, and we did see Donald only a few weeks before his death. I can still see him sitting at your table eating that chocolate cake. Remember his funny and loving spirit and how he loved you all so much. Love you guys,
Tony, Nora, Jonathan and Elliott Nealy
