Barb.....I want you to know that even though I couldn't come to Donnie's service I was thinking of you !!! Losing your right hand man plus all your fur babies has got to be unbearable but as I told you he'll be waiting for you!!! THIS is not the end !!!!! I never met him personally but through your photos/videos I could tell what kind of man he was !!!! I keep remembering the plot we devised to pull the wool ( no pun intended ) over his eyes with the goat tied to the tree under cover of darkness 😂😂😂 Remember, if you need someone to talk to I'm always here. Love, light and PEACE to you Barb 💜🌹💜…
To Barb and Donny's Family and friends. Susan and I are so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you must be going through in this period of grief that has been put upon all of you! To Barb, Susan and I can't imagine what you must feel at this sad time. Turning to God, friends and family hopefully help to ease your pain right now and in the future. We never met Donny but he seemed like someone who would do anything to help a neighbor or friend in need. From all your pictures Barb, he looked like a hard worker as you did caring for all the Farm animals. He also seemed to share your passio…
Words can’t describe how sorry we are for the whole family. Donny was a kind and gentle soul. We shared being godparents to Alana, and I will watch over her, while you will in spirit. We will miss seeing you at the girls birthdays, 4th of July, setting up fireworks and making it an exciting time for family and friends. Donny, you will be missed dearly. Love Patty Ann and Rob. ♥️🕊️
