MICHAEL J. DONNELLY

My Dear Brother Michael,
I loved when you took me, for the first time, to Mr. and Mrs. Prince's Farm on the Shenandoah River. You took me (I should say dragged me) out to the middle of the river, and almost drowned me – but it was more than well worth it.

I miss you so much, my love.

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.

Green sod above,

Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

I only know Michael through the love of his mother, my dearest friend. I would see her face light up and the biggest smile whenever she talked about "Dimples". My heart breaks for Patti and Michael's family and friends. The only gift I can give you is my prayers. Jude Ann
