    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Donald will be missed by his family and friends, but he will not be forgotten by our heavenly father Jehovah. John 5:28,29. I hope this will bring you comfort when you think back on all the wonderful times you shared with him, and know that you have the opportunity to see him again.
