As always, it’s so hard to say goodbye, “Cuzin'”! First, let me start by saying Donald was an outstanding person! As kids we didn’t get the opportunity to spend much time together, however, once we reconnected at the family reunion in 2013 in Panama city, I got to know Donald as the man he had become. Many interesting conversations thru the following years. I just saw Donald a few weeks ago at the 2026 family reunion in Pensacola. I had just got back to Dallas when I received this devasting news, I was shocked because I had just spent some time with this man. However, I realize we can try and prepare ourself for this moment in life, but it will never ease the pain. I have nothing but sweet, loving and wonderful feelings for Donald lovely wife Jackie! To her, I send my love and condolences! “TexasTee84”!
