To the Klatt Family,
I only met and played with Donnie last year. Yes, he made an impression. More so, I thought the service at his funeral is going to be lasting. I could feel your pain, and your love, for Donnie. It was an overwhelming display of courage, character and feelings by all who spoke. Donnie's family mirrored what I thought of him. Sometimes the ghosts are bigger than us and all the love we offer can not help. Rest in peace Big Guy. Haste to the family in healing.

Dear Klatt family,
I have played with and against Don for about 15 years and Don was a great guy on and off the field.I will miss him very much.My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. God Bless.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
