I think I was thinking you would always be around. I grew up thinking how strong and tuff and wise my uncle Donnie was. And even at my own sons funeral you told my friend , he better never hurt me. Because you would be there if he did. Your my Hero uncle Donnie. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for Sondra through everything. She was by my side when my mom died. But my love and heart is always with my family. I will always think of you. I love you . Rest in peace .
