Mr. Donatello, you will be dearly missed my many with a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you have passed away, but that you lived. And that your life has given many memories too beautiful to forget. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help all of you through this difficult time. I ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence and in knowing that his was a life well-lived. You have my sincere condolences.
Love Maria Beck Zimmerman and Family
