Sending hugs to my dear friend Donnie who is on his next adventure, I will miss you my dear friend, and I feel so blessed to have had the few years we shared together. I have so many wonderful memories...fishing, boating, concerts, dancing, hiking and most of all, all the belly laughs, and sharing time with your wonderful family. We never missed sending a Christmas card in the mail and sharing music over the phone, especially when a Bee Gee's song popped up on the radio. Brooke just texted me, as I've sent several texts with no reply, she informed me of of the passing, and I want the family to know what a great friend he was to me, and I will miss him 😢 💔 I'm grateful for having the opportunity to share one last conversation a month ago, I just wish we could have had more. Our rainbow at Glendo is shining in your honor my dear friend 🧡 Farewell Bees Knees Your forever friend JoAnne Neumeister
