Dear Family: Please don't think I waited this long to express my/our memories as well as our deepest condolences!! My original entry dated 12/13/09 was denied posting. Let's see, oh my goodness, where to even begin? I'm sure all would agree when I say, "quite the character", "a definite one of a kind"!! There were always crazy times, never a dull moment!! Whew, can you imagine the party going on in Heaven about now? It was at this point previously I brought up many memories, none which were bad in nature but I guess best not discussed in detail. I'm sure by now many have had their own gazillion flashbacks and to that I say, "no details needed", right??!! One little inside joke from our family goes like this.....we are sure gonna miss ya "brain surgeon" and I'll just leave it at that!! As for Jim, he could share memories for days!! I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to have Donnie as a part of our lives. I thank him for many things, first and foremost for introducing me to his loving, adoring and completely dedicated wife, Dinah....my very special and devoted friend! Secondly for blessing this planet with their awesome son Christopher!! To Dinah, Christopher, Shirley, Tommy, the rest of the family and all of his true friends: During this time of sorrow, please find comfort in knowing there is a special guardian angel watching over us all!! You are in our thoughts and prayers!! Sent with love and bunches of hugs!!
