We love you lil Don! Always! I truly can imagine you being way too special for this world and that gives me a slight understanding of why you couldn´t stay. Even still all the greatest thoughts I come up with I bet don´t come close to who you would be today. You´ll never be forgotten and when I see you again I know I´ll know you and it´ll be a blessed moment. Love you kid! Happy Birthday!
