He was a precious, respectful, fun-loving little boy whom I remember as if it were yesterday. Ana, you remain in my thoughts, also. Yours was a very special big sister/little brother relationship.

It was my privilege and extreme pleasure to have had both McDonald children in my First Grade class at Brunton School. They were the kind who put the joy in teaching. Ana, you know how much he loved and looked up to you. I was there, Monday night, but couldn't get up to speak to you in person. My heart is aching for you.
