Praying for the whole family and know that I love you very much. Don was very special to me and I’ll miss him.
The last time Rick and I visited with brother Donnie and the family, before we left, I said, Brother Donnie, you know what I see? He shook his head no. I said I see Jesus in your eyes, and I did. He dropped his head and cried. Didn’t know him as well as a lot of others, but can honestly say I was blessed everytime I was in his presence. Enjoyed hearing his seed ministry. We will visit again.
Love you, my friend. Always enjoyed being around you. One of my longest friendships. Miss you already, but I will see you soon, buddy.
I am so sorry for your family’s loss. May God wrap His loving arms around you all and give you His perfect peace.
SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF DON’S PASSING. I AM PRAYING FOR ALL THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
I believe Donnie and Pastor Tony are singing their great songs to the Lord. Face to face.
So sorry to hear of Donnie passing. We didn’t get to see him much but we loved him.may you rest in peace and we love you all
