To my Uncle Donald;

We all will miss you dearly. We did not want you to leave us, but GOD knows best and his LOVE is more remarkable than ours. We have been blessed to have been born and lived to see you grow older and wiser. And we learned a valuable lesson, "never go against your family, always support and stand by your family." You taught us how to stick together no matter what, and you encouraged us to get a good education, which we have all done. Thank You Uncle Donald for being the proud man that you were. Thank You for being a gentleman, thank you for being kind yet stern, thank you for being smart and wise, thank you for being YOU. Now enjoy Paradise, Live On Uncle Donald.

You, Uncle Donald, were more than an Uncle to me. You were more like a father. I am blessed to have had you, Uncle Frank and Babe as my fathers, and Myra and Dourita as my mothers. Who could ask for more. I loved you and always will. You encouraged me, supported me, strengthened me and guided me. You lead me to the church and I stayed for 24 years. I watched you march with the Trustees and you made me proud to be your niece. Uncle Donald I will miss you greatly, but I respect the love of GOD who always knows best. You will watch over us even more now and your spirit will never die. LIVE ON UNCLE DONALD, LIVE ON.



With Love, Recee and Steve.
