I cannot begin to describe how much I will miss Donnie. He was so VERY special to me. I considered him my BEST friend. He wasn't just my friend but he was family to me as well. He has to be given credit for helping raise my children, at least keeping them out of trouble. There was never a time when I needed help that Donnie didn't come to my rescue. I will cherish the memories I have. I wish I had gotten to know his girls and grandbabies, I heard about you all but didn't meet. If you all are even half the person your Dad was then you'll be great. Please know that I loved him very much and if I can ever be a shoulder to lean on please just call me and I will try to be there for you as your father was for me. Nancy

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Donnie was the 1st person to my house the morning my husband died. I will never forget that. he always looked after my home when I was away after that. We have had several conversations over the past few years & it was always about our grandchildren and how smart they were. I know all the grand children will really miss their papa. Please accept my deepest sympathy in the passing of your Dad

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
