I am trying to get ahold of Jeannie or Boyd Jr. I realize that Donnie, Linda and Boyd have past. Anyway if anyone can help locate my niece and nephew I would appreciate it.
I'm so very sorry to just now read this. We've spoken of Donnie often and wondered how to get in touch with him. My sisters and I are cousins. Just in the last few months Jeannette has asked Melba about him without any answers. Even thou we're late please accept our condolences.
