Donnel was the "Big Brother" and mentor to his "Little Sister, Nita Beth" who I hold as one of my dearest friends. I loved getting to know and visit with each member of the Weber family. They are a family of bright, accomplished, caring, & tender hearted ministering angels. Peace and comfort to the remaining family members. Jan Warr

We were able to watch the service on you tube. Thank you for doing that. We wish we could have been there except Byrle was not having a good day. Donnel always meant a lot to us. He was truly a good man. We are happy that we got to have a cousin reunion this summer at his home. We wish the family peace and comfort. Byrle and Glenna Walker.

My deep sympathy to the Weber family, in particular to Dena, my dear friend.
I spent a couple of days at Donnel's home at invitation from Dena to observe the American Eclipse several years ago. I really enjoyed meeting and speaking with Donnel. He was a wonderful host.
I sat in his living room one evening and we both watched The Lawrence Welk Show, something he did regularly, I was told. I had forgotten how entertaining that show was, and really enjoyed watching it with him. Although Donnel was a quiet man, he and I did comment back and forth about the show. I found him to be a gentle soul, and I know how much he meant to Dena. Donnel will always be near to you as his family meant so much to him.

Dear Julia, Dena, Calvin, Duane, and Kenneth. I am so sorry for your loss. Memories of Uncle Donnell visiting with my dad and Grandma Weber are vivid and cherished--as well as family reunions with each of you. All of you and your families will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
