Paul and I still have a note from Uncle Donald and Cynthia on our refrigerator along with his picture holding a rattlesnake he'd killed. We think of and miss him frequently. ❤️

I miss seeing you Donald when I visit with Cynthia. You were one of Scotty's and my best friends. You were always there for us, over thirty years. Canning, camping and listening to your stories when ever we got together over all those years.

Donald taught my son how to make biscuits and carved a pumpkin with him when we were up there for Fall break a few years ago. He was always very hospitable when we came up for a visit.

I only spent the span of about 2 weeks total with Donald. He was my husband's uncle, but he felt like my uncle too. When my husband's dad passed away (Donald's brother) he came and stayed with us for a week. He taught me how to make home made enchilada sauce. We would all drink wine on the porch and discuss the world's problems until the fireflies came out. He was such a comfort after losing Wiley. Loved him a lot and will forever remember his kindness, his insights, and his cowboy spirit.

Donald was a man among men.He would give you the shirt off of his back. He helped myself and my mother meany times. Without even thinking about. It. He was my friend, my brother. Donald you will walk with me always. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for taking the time for all you tought me.( canning was a big one..) Now your riding the Lord's trail. You will be deeply missed.
