Hi Virgie, my name is Frank Serio. I know you have heard of me from Donnie. I worked with him at Dillon's. Donnie and I drove together and later he called me one day after he left Dillons. I just heard this morning from Ben of Donnie's passing. Please know that I will keep you all in my prayers. I will also let Richard Meyer know. He is in a nursing home now. May God Bless you all and know that Donnie had some really good friends up here whom will miss him dearly; I know because I am one. Take care and one day we will all meet again.

Take care, God Bless
Frank Serio

Virgie and family, Linda, Bonnie,Tony, Gary,

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate Donny's life. Gail and I wish we could be there. We have been talking and remembering those carefree days of our youth playing on Roop Lane.. all the cousins and Granny and family.. we were oblivous of our poverty... because we were rich in the love of family. Praying for you all in the days ahead that God will sustain you in your time of loss. Bye Donny... you will be missed.
