Tom - my sincere condolence go out to you and "Donnie's" family members.
"No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why."
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Tom, Greg, Dana, Dawn and Family,
I am so saddened by Donnie's death. I guess I think people live forever even though I know they don't. I have been thinking about all the things we did as kids and it makes me smile thru my tears. She was my sponsor for my Confirmation, we caught the same school bus for 12 years, we graduated together and we spent many, many days just playing. The last time I saw her was for Helen's wake and we promised to get together again soon. We never did. She was truly a life long friend and will always be in my heart. I am so sorry I will not be there for her services. I am in Atlanta at my son's for the holidays. You all are definitely in my heart, on my mind, and in my prayers. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Les and family.... I am so sorry for your loss. Please remember that time and prayer will ease the pain that you are feeling at this time. I remember your mom from our days at East Ascension High School. She was a really nice girl that I called my friend, but we lost track of each other after we graduated. You and your family will be in my prayers. If you should ever need anything or just to talk, I'll be there for you. God bless you all.
