I worked with Don in 2000. He used to give me a ride to the far parking lot when it was pouring rain. RIP.

Aunt Shirley-I´m so sorry for the great loss of your dear son, Donnie-our cousin. I have no words to express that sadness. I can honor Donnie with a few memories that truly embraced his spirit to me. I always remember Donnie´s joy and that gigglewhen we arrived at our favorite vaca place, Chesapeake Bay. His excitement, spirit of adventure there, always was so infectious. His warming curiosity-heart for nature, such a kind spirit. I loved our vacation time there. And that beautiful blonde hair- the sun always turned to shiny ribbon.
May those sweet memories and many others of your own bring you comfort and peace.
To honor his memory Donating to the Harrisburg
Humane Society.
Love and God bless you and hold you in His embrace during this difficult time-

Cheyenne & I are going to miss our Donny. He was a wonderful friend and was like a little brother to me. We had some awesome times together: shore trips, concerts, and dinners. We also drove past the house to see the Halloween & Christmas decorations. He was taken way too soon. He is up with my brother cracking jokes about Estes. My heartfelt condolences to Mrs. PIdich, family, and friends.

We will miss Don even though we haven't seen him in a long time. However I remember the day he was born and had contact with him until they moved away. He had a wonderful mother. In honor of his memory we donated to the Humane Society that he liked. We will miss you.
