My heart and prayers go out to all of Donnie's family and friends but 
especially to you Robyn and to you Bill. I never had the priviledge of 
knowing Donnie but we shared a lot of memories of our children Robyn as
we passed on our work shifts so I feel blessed to have shared those memories with you.

There aren't words strong enough to express the depth of my sorrow for the pain I know your loss is putting you through. Just as there is no greater love then that of a child, there is also no greater loss, no greater pain or devastation than the loss of that child.

As I'm sure you remember I too lost my daughter suddenly in 2011, she was 32 and like Donnie way too young to leave me. I wish there were some magic words that I could say to help you through the rough road ahead, to bring you right to just having peace with your precious memories.

I pray for that peace everyday, just as I will now pray for yours. May you draw strength from your family, friends and May God Bless you all.

I apologize for my just now sending you my condolences but I just heard of your loss. If there is anything I can do please let me know. You know where you can find me.

Donnie, your were the most precious thing in my life and the only thing helping me cope is knowing that you are in a better place.  You are not suffering or feeling any more pain.  I only hope you realize how much you were loved and are now being missed by so many.  I will make sure you will never be forgotten and Lane will know ALL about you, everything from how you loved playing with Lego's to your adventurous love for the woods.  I love you my son and was always proud of you!  Love, Mom

Robyn, I only got to meet Donald once, when he gave you away for your wedding.  What a great thing for a son to do.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.  I can't imagine your heartbreak, but know that you will see him again.  Love, Laddie

Donnie,  Some people come and go through life.  Some people leave a giant hole when they go.  Precious man you left a canyon.  Those are some giant boots to fill.  Miss you so much it makes it hard to breathe.  Told your  Mom that I didn't know who was going to keep my stuff running.  I can hear you laughing. It is my pleasure to be chubby Mama Bev

Robyn, Im so sorry to hear about your loss. I pray that you and your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Robyn, I am so sorry I was not able to attend the service but I was thinking of you in your time of loss. My thoughts and prayers go with you in what must be the hardest time a parent could have to endure.

To the man who have me the greatest gift anyone could give me, our son Lane Hayden McRae( daddy named him :))My heart is breaking knowing that you will not be here In person to watch him grow into the young man he will be. He will know how great of a man his father was and I only hope he is everything of you and more. You left us to early and for a reason only god will know but you are lane's guardian angel now so please protect him. Lane wanted me to tell you that He loves you daddy all the heaven and back! You will always be in our hearts and will never be forgotten. Loved you then, love you now, love you always! - Jess and Lane( your boy)

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. R.I.P Donnie u will missed.

To the son I never had.
Donnie why did you have to leave us? I still have your texts asking when we will be going redfish fishing in the river. I wish we went one last time. You were our mechanic any time we needed some advice on the â€œblack truckâ€ that was your mothers but you loved it so much. Your mother would tell you in the hospital to â€œwake upâ€ and the truck would be yours, unfortunately God had another plan for you, but how I wished you would wake up. I am so glad that we spent time together this past shrimp season. I would save you a spot next to me on the Shand's pier and we would sling those nets like crazy. Donnie I miss those times and I miss you. Most of all I am at a loss for words when it comes to your Mother, what could I possibly say or do to help her with the hurt of losing you. It kills me daily to see her mourn your loss but she has shown strength that I would never have. Robyn loved you so much and I know you knew this. Our lives are forever changed and you will be in our hearts and memories till we meet again. Love your Stepdad Bill.

Donnie, I love you and I miss you. You were the greatest brother that anybody could ever have. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

Donnie, you were my first love, my first everything and no matter what you will always be in my heart and nobody will ever be able to take the spot you have in my heart, we have so many memories that I will hang onto for the rest of my life and I thank God everyday that it was you he brought into my life for them 4 1/2 years to get to experience how love really is suppose to be, you never gave up on me you were always there anytime I needed you or anytime I was afraid you would always hold me close to I you and tell me everything would be ok cause I was in your arms, I will never forget the sound of your heart beating, the way our hands perfectly fit together, or all the silly little things you use to say and do to me. And I know you are up there looking down on all of us and are right here by our sides, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten you are our guardian angel now. Fly high babe. I love you with all my heart.
