I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Donnie. He was my dads best friend when he was alive. I am so saddened that I found out too late to make it to any of the services. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We will miss seeing him every day in the summers mowing his lawn.
