Dear Shelly and Heidi and family, Donald was a lifelong friend of mine. He and I go back to Jr. High. The fondest memories I have are when we rode to Chalmette High together in his beautiful 1957 Aqua and White Chevy Belair Deluxe. He always had a car full and I was the last stop. Our paths crossed again when you attended Gethsemane Lutheran Pre School with Paula and Lana. Whenever we ran into each other it was as if not much time had passed. The next time I see him I know it will be the same.

My sincerest condolences to all. Truly wish I could have seen Donald before his passing.
I could always count on seeing a simling face when ever I encountered Donald!
I have missed seeing you all due to Katrina dispersing us, this hurts to know I possibly will not run into him somewhere and catch up on the latest goings on....

I'm thankful for knowing Donald and the times I did get to spend with him!

Sincerely,
