Im keeping the family and friends of Don in my prayers. I just found out today and i can't believe you are gone. I loved you so much and your smile always made my day. You were there for me through thick and thin even tho we had disagreements u would always come back and give me good advice. U motivated me to become a better person and artist. I'll never forget you or the time we shared. I know u are in a better place. I will always love you and u will be greatly missed Donovan aka Sweetface.

My prayers are with you. Donovan was such a sweet man and great student. I will always remember his smile I looked forward to seeing him at The Adult learning center. He was such a proud dad he came by one day grinning from ear to ear showing us his beautiful baby. Donovan I know is in a better place now and I pray for peace for his family.

Day by day I think of you,
How can all of this be true?
I can't believe you're really gone,
I still can't accept it,
Just the thought of you makes me cry,
I never even got the chance to say goodbye.Only replaying the day i saw you in Destrehan, never knowing that that would be the last time i see you.
Every picture and memory i can't deal
I don't know if it will ever get better.
I always hear your voice"Willie",
It makes me think of all of the times we've spent.
And every time we talked, it would always be great.
So many things I never got to say,
I never imagined you'd ever be so far away.
You were my brother,
And I loved you like no other.
In my heart you'll always be,
You'll be my guide and help me see.
I'll never forget your soothing voice,
I would turn back time if i could.
But now I have to let you rest,
Although without you my world's a mess.
I miss you with all of my heart,
I wish we could talk one last time.
I know you're always by my side,
So now I guess this is my goodbye...
Not goodbye because someday the time will come where we meet again, I love you so much that i just can't ......I just keep thinkin bout everything you did for me and all the advice and protection you gave....."Remeber my first car papa hooked up, you bought my first spinning hubcaps" I remember you always use to nagg me bout B,,,haha now that's funny....No one knows what we had and know one knew that special bond we shared,,,,I miss you so much
