Donni Vail, you were loved so very much by all of us, your classmates in Junior and Senior High. Your smile lives in our hearts. Thank you for blessing all of us. See you on the other side - Lisa New (Jones)

Donni,
I have so many fond memories of you... baseball, Danny and you on the Bears Team, Football at SOHI, basketball in Junior High School, your mom being our den mother for Cub Scouts, and all of the wonderful and wild times we had riding around in our cars during our teenage years in Soldotna and Kenai. May God bless your soul, Donni.

See you soon, bud.

Love ya,
Ralph V. Bartlett
