My sincere sympathy to Diane and the family. I remember with loving memories you and Aunt Pearl - and the fact that you made an effort to contact me when some family event of major concern occurred that we should know about. May God Bless you in your new life - and may the reunion you now share with all other family and friends be a joyful one. One day - all of us will meet again. Good Bye for now.

Although we lost close contact as adults, I have many happy memories of the childhood years of fun I had with Aunt Pearl and Don. You took that part of me with you, Donny. Godspeed, my friend, and my sincere condolences to Diane, Val, Kim, and your extended family.
