I was Donnie´s professional caregiver before he became ill. Donnie made coffee for us everyday and I would sit at the kitchen table with him and listen to Donnie tell me about his life...that´s when we became good friends. He loved his family more than anything. He was one of the kindest human being I´ve ever known.
May peace and comfort find your family during this difficult time. My deepest sympathy is with you.
