Dear My Beloved Uncle Donnie,
My heart is broken to learn of your passing, but also bittersweet
with the knowledge that you are no longer in pain. I first learned
of your debilitating illness long before anyone else knew. That's
right..some would maybe remember: I was at the River and woke
up in the middle of night crying, just a very young kid. I looked out the top bunkbed window of the cabin as the moon shone down on the slip, with a helpless, sinking feeling, in tears and said, "something is wrong with my Uncle Donnie". That is when I knew and later everyone else found out, that you had one of the worst subtypes of the disease schizophrenia. Life is so very unfair!!! Even though nothing was ever the same past that, there were so many absolutely beautiful memories of you! You were such an excellent guitar player and singer! You were a great artist and very smart. You were quiet and mild mannered but put a guitar in your hand and ya better look out! You always looked like a tall angel to me. I think maybe you were. Give grandma and Uncle John a big hug for me, okay? Till we all meet again- I love you.
