I DIDN'T KNOW THIS YOUNG MAN, HOWEVER, WHEN I SPOKE WITH MY NEPHEW WHO ALSO PLAYS BASEBALL AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL, HE SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF HIM. JOKINGLY, I SAID TO MY NEPHEW, "I BET HE DIDN'T STRIKE YOU OUT!" HE REPLIED WITH PRIDE AND SAID, " YES HE DID, FIVE TIMES!" AUNTIE, HE WAS REALLY GOOD! SO I SAY TO THE FAMILY, DONNY'S TIME ON EARTH WAS "REALLY GOOD!" IN HIS SHORT SPAN OF LIFE, HE HAS GARNERED A LEVEL ADMIRATION AND RESPECT THAT FOR SOME, WILL NEVER BE ACHEIVED! I'LL KEEP YOUR FAMILY IN PRAYER...KNOWING THAT EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT HEAVEN CANNOT HEAL!
