Dear Brother and Sister,
We have a God that is love and he knows about the pain of death. Jehovah's word tells us that the last enemy death will be done away with(1 cor. 15:26). So while your son sleeps in peace please take comfort in the love of our God that cannot lie,there will be a ressurection. Just continue to endure,it won't be long.

The death of a child is like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool;the ripples of despair sweep out in all directions,affecting many, many people.

Donovon's death affects all of us Donald and Andrea. We mourn with you in Hawaii. I have fond memories of playing 'ball with Donald (and his boots)along with your sons or with his cousins Rob,Ron,and Kenny Goolsby.

Right now its hard to get through the day. Ask Jehovah to help you get through a moment and work up to a day!

No words can express how sorry we are to have heard about the loss of your son. Right now we can only "weep" along with you. Rom. 12:15 says "weep with people who weep." Jehovah has such a loving concern for you as you are grieving.

Dear Andrea and Don,
It's very hard to lose someone important in our lives that we love especially your own child. But remember Donovon is just in a deep sleep. We always need to keep that resurrection in our memory. Just think you will b able to see Donovon in the resurrection. Donovon may be gone but his memory continues to live on. It's hard for young people in the system of things to endure some of the hardships and tribulations. I'm telling you this from experience. We all need to have Jehovah in our lives, for he is our Protecter and Comforter. Although I haven't seen you or your family in a really long time, always remember that I love you all very much and I loved Donovon and he will never be forgotten. You are in my heart and prayers.
