My deepest regrets go to all the MacDonald family. Went was a very old friend and I treasure the memories of all the good times he, Bo and I had together. Went and his old truck,Shep, moved my belonging on a number of occasions. Went was a good person and I will always be happy to remember him as a good friend. I am so sorry for your loss.
One of many old friends from the old days,

Went , as I have known you over these past short years,it has been a pleasure in deed. I still remember your old hat in the Dominican Republic and how you treasured it so much.I also enjoyed your western songs that kept me up at night.
You did enjoy the good life and especially your new found love.I remember your big smile when you introduced her to me.You looked very happy and enjoyed the relationship.
It is with great sadness that I hear of your passing and I wish all your surviving family all the best and good comfort.
May God grant you many blessings and until we all meet again .I wish them well and good comfort in these trying times which we all experience one time or another.
Your good friend
