I am very saddened deeply to hear of the passing of Donald, he was a dear Uncle and like a Father as he claimed me to be his son many times. My heart is hurt and empty deep within, but I know and am rest assured that I will see Him once again in Heaven, where their will be no more tears, sickness, sorrow hurt or pain. As we have traveled through this life's journey, we have overcome many obstacles, but we have kept the faith. As God word tells us there is a time to rejoice and a time to reap, Donald is now rejoicing with the Angels in Heaven above, and may we be rest assured we will be reunited with him once again, with out Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers always
