Mom and I had some General Tso's Chicken last night and toasted you Donny! I love you and miss you. It still feels like yesterday when you said "I love you Stace...call you when I get there." I think I must have gotten that call a million times now, cuz I am sure you are there. Tell Grandma, Sandy, Aunt Joyce, Larry, Grandpa and everyone else I forgot I said I love them. Miss you!

Donny I miss you every day. You are my strength. I am always telling my students about something you said or did. Your personality was genuine and honest. I went by Rosewood and cleaned everything up a bit. You got fresh flowers on your birthday.....hope you like them. I wanted to also let your guests on here know that they can view your pictures on your website as well as see a couple of videos of you. They are sooooo classic. That website is:

Yesterday wasn't easy, but today is even harder. It doesn't seem like it was 5 years ago on labor day that we lost you. I am thankful for the time that we did get to spend together. Mom is here this weekend and I am sure being around Ashley and Marylen has made the day smoother...you know how they can be! Well I just miss you.
Carol Pfeiffer

Missing you on this sad day. It's hard to believe how the years have flown by. So much has happened in my life and when you see Mom, she will explain. Willie and Boogie will be with her so be prepared for some kisses! Tell them I miss them and think of them daily. Love, hugs & kisses to all of you.

Technology isn't always wonderful Donny! I tried to get on here on your birthday but it wouldn't cooperate with me. Anyway...I hope you saw me when I went to the cemetery. Mom wanted me to get some spring flowers for you, so I had to incorporate Dad's silk bluebonnets with them. They look amazing. I have been putting some more things on your website. I put some video of you on there...one is just so typical of you...it is on the "friends" page! I love you and miss you. I can't believe time has gone by so quickly. I wish we could go back to that night. I would have let the air out of your tires. Yeah you would have been mad at me...but you'd still be here. I love you.

Happy New Year Donny,
I miss you. I guess my new year's resolution would be "out with the old and in with the new!" I hope you see me and can guide me with my decisions I have to make in the near future. I hope that if anyone who reads this knows that I have created another website for Donny on Tripod. It is http://donnybracht.tripod.com check it out.

It doesn't seem that long ago since we lost you. You are a very big part of my life little brother. I always say, "Donny would have done it this way or Donny would have helped that guy out." Donny would have been the first to volunteer to help New Orleans refugees. I know he would have! Miss you very much. Oh for the people who check on this site regularly...the other site is slowly being updated with more pictures. http://donnybracht.tripod.com

Happy Birthday Lil' Brother,
It has definitely been one of those weeks where I get the "so real" dreams. The ones where I felt as if I were right there talking to you. I had one Saturday as well as Sunday night. It was so good to be able to see you in them. I miss you and wanted to tell you Happy Birthday on Monday but I was unable to. I guess you know I married an electrician! Ya'll would have totally been buddies...so many similar characteristics. Anyway....I love you and miss you lots!
