I will miss you Uncle Donald, lots of good memories and fun times. I will never forget the day we were riding the horses in the pasture and you told me to let Dolly touch the electric fence with her nose. Big mistake, I ended up hanging upside down from her neck and you was on Sandy laughing. So many fun times to remember.
Your free now, rest in peace.
