Uncle Otis and Aunt Carolyn,I am very sorry to hear about Donald. The last time we met was at the reunion, I was with my dad, sister and her husband. Donald and I had a nice conversation and a beer or two. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I wish I had gotten to know Donald better than I did. Sorry this is so late as we just got back from a trip. Please keep in touch. Dennis Bonet and Family.
