Sandy, my heart felt sympathy in the loss of your best friend and husband, Donnie! I loved his sense of humor and all the years I worked with him and you at the Sheriffs Department. Our husbands and so many friends from work (that we have lost these past few years) tell us good guys die young too. I´m sure there is one big reunion going on in heaven right now. May God Bless you and all family and friends in your loss, I pray. Most Sincerely, your friend and fellow officer, Carol Dotson, Retired Sgt
