Our sincere sympathy is sent to you, Aunt Judy, and to your family. We will miss Uncle Donnie but rejoice in knowing that he is with Jesus. Philippians 1:21--"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." I would like to think that's what Uncle Donnie was saying as he was passing from this earth into eternal glory. Sincerely, Darin, Lucia, Kailee, Reed and Cole.

Every time I saw "Uncle Donnie", as we called him, he was always smiling. It is comforting to know that he is in heaven, reunited with Grandma and Grandpa and that he's still smiling. Aunt Judy, Greg and Lisa, our prayers are with you.

Donnie will always have a special place in my memories, especially the ones in my childhood, the shared friends, the packing house and the overnight hikes. I really appreciated his firm belief in Christ as his Saviour, that will continue to be an example to me through the rest of my life.
