Donnie was the best cousin - just my age so I always had someone to hang around with when we were all together. I know he will be missed by all his friends and family.

Even though I do not see my extended family they mean a lot to me...all of my cousins are special to me and Donnie will be greatly missed. I am saddened that he is no longer with us. I will love him always.

I worked with Don as a Bailiff in the 220th District Court in Meridian,Texas. Don was our court reporter and really helped me learn the ways of the court system. I will never forget his help, wisdom , and laugh. The faces he made sometimes almost made me laugh out loud at times I shouldn't.

A very sad day.
