I will always rember Donnie having fun with his family and friends. Penny I know there are no words I can say, just know we are thinking of you.

Donnie was always so cheerful and funny! I had the opportunity to know him through work. He was great to be around and I always enjoyed seeing him. He always had a great story to tell and you could tell how much he treasured his wife by the stories he shared. He will be missed.

The love and care Donnie shared with the people he worked with and the clients we dealt with everyday, was always above the norm. Donnie was very inquisitive and you knew from his discussions with you that he cared very deeply for his family. Very very hard to know he has left us, but calming to know he is in God's loving hands. He is truly an angel here with us. Love to you and your family dear Penny.
