Pam, you are in my prayers every day. Donnie was a special friend to all of us. He was a hoot to hang out and talk to and was always in a good mood. He has been missed by so many already. I pray you get some peace in your heart and that the pain of being lonely will ease soon. Much love to you and the boys.

Donnie had an office at Vernon City Hall during his time as a County Commissioner. He was a good friend, and also had time to listen to whomever visited his office. My prayers and blessings for his family.
