1 Thessolonians 4:13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

I am sorry you left this place but you moved onto a paradise far more than words can describe. You raised tough kids whom all will endure as they must. They were raised in Gods love and will draw close to find peace.
Diana I am so sorry you must join the club twice, it is a stinky club as you had already known. I am glad you and Uncle Donnie found each other and were able to make each other happen for the days you were together.
To the kids of Diane I am sorry for the loss I know you loved Donnie as who couldnt I am glad you got to know him and love him. He was a special man. My only regret is not being a visitor. I should have gotten around to family but didnt.
Gods Peace and Blessing to all of you even those who are struggling with things
