Duck and Ellen, I know there is nothing we can say but know that you are in our thoughts. Please don't forget to take care of yourselves.

My heart goes out to the family. Times like these are hard but he no longer suffers the diseases of this world. He is peaceful now and feels no pain. Although we all grew up and went off to live our own adult lives, Uncle Duck and Aunt Ellen, I always remembered the closeness that us cousins shared when we were kids. That closeness is what I still miss but I have never forgot my family, all of you, and I love you all very much. You are all in my prayers and if you need anything, please call me. I love you all and am greatly sorrowed by your loss. To my dear cousin Donnie, I will always remember the early years before we all grew up way too fast. I will miss you. God rest your soul and ease your pain and comfort your family always. With deepest sympathy Donna Marie

Dear Duck and Ellen, My Dad and Donnie at Christmas time is what I remember. At soon as they saw each other, Donnie gave Dad his school picture and Dad immediately put it in his wallet. I think a small gift was given to Donnie. I believe that our son Rob was there in heaven to meet Donnie. I know too how you are both suffering. I won't tell you that you will soon get back to normal. I don't think that will ever come. I do feel that Donnie and Rob both rest in peace and that their suffering is over. They will always be loved and remembered in our prayers. Please let me or Frank know if there is anything that we can do for you. God bless you both. Love, Carol and Frank
