I miss you so, so much, Donni! I think of you often and you are missed not just by me, but I know by many others, too! You touched our souls and hearts by your unconditional friendship.

Your one of my bestest friends... See you in the afterlife...

Love ya,

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

It's hard knowing Donni is gone from this life. He was always someone who had a smile on his face and could cheer you up. We met in high school and shared many good times and many laughs together. As life goes you part ways and loose touch while starting and building families of your own. I know he cared about family. When he moved back to Alaska we had the opportunity to meet up again. I didn't have the opportunity to see much of Donni over the last several years but when we would run into...
