It´s already been 10 years and I miss you every day. I now live by the water and know you would love fishing here and just watching the big fish and beautiful sunsets and having a cold one on the beach. I know you were happy for Mom to join you - now I have Dad Mom and You my big brother watching over me. I love you and miss you and know we will all be together some day. Heavenly Hugs

"Donnie Lyons, You earned so much love and true respect from so many, and you will be greatly missed!" "Thank you for your service to our County."
"Your laughter, the fun and great hugs that you shared, is so appreciated." "Good bye for now my friend..."

Nancy, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and I am so sorry that I didn't know sooner. You let me know if you need anything, as do so many of your's and Donnie's friends. We will be there for you!

You had Donnie's deepest love, and I want to thank you for sharing Donnie with us! What a great man, father, grandfather and friend! What a great gift! I know I was truly blessed the day that I met you and Donnie.
