Aunt Katherine my heart aches for you as I can not imagine losing a child. I pray that you find peace in the coming days, weeks and months. You all were such a big part of my childhood. Watching the video of Donnie's life reminded me so much of daddy. It looks like Donnie and daddy had a lot in common including great looks. God bless you all. Love Diana

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family. During this difficult time, God is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit He saves. Psalms 34:18
From: A.C.
I want to offer my deepest sympathies to the family and friends during a most difficult time. Death was not a part of God's original purpose and he has promised to " swallow up death forever." No longer will one cry out in pain or grieve the loss of a loved one. These will all be things of the past that will never to brought to mind ever again. Revelation 21:3,4. Rejoice in this most precious hope from our loving heavenly Father Jehovah. Psalms 83:18
