Dear Mary Ann and family, it is with great sadness to hear of the passing of your brother Donald. I dont think he would want you to be sad about loosing him, but be happy for the time we had him in our lives. May God bless your whole family,and remember its not the person we lost,it is the person we all had the pleasure of being touched by.
