I remember growing up around Don. He was courteous and fun loving and always smart as a whip. Im sure he is enjoying catching up with his dad. Prayers for the family. God bless! Van and Diana Rogers and Bob and Kitty Rogers
Donnie was one of our church clan of kids when we were growing up. I always got a hug when he came to church visiting Ms. Hazel. We will reunite with him soon in Haven! I love your family
