Audrey, we treasured your and Donnie's friendship. We knew that Donnie loved the Lord and was so accepting of His will in his life. From what Garey shared with us about your lives together, we knew he respected and loved you very much. We know you will miss his so, but we can all rejoice that he is happy and painfree today.
Your friends, Marjorie and Jack Turner

Donnie showed grace through all he endured. I'm so thankful that he is free of all of it now. What a privilege it was to have him walk through our lives. His imprint will be on us always and he will live forever in our hearts and our memories. We love you, Audrey!
