Some of our favorite memories are how spoiled Will's dog Dahle was. They were best of friends and an enjoyment to watch together. Donna, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I always liked Willy and his beautiful smile. And his spoiled dog!! Be strong- Mandi and Madison

When I was younger, my mom and I would go over to visit Aunt Donna and Uncle Will. I remember (and I don't know if it's all true) that I was sitting on a bike and Uncle Will was helping me get going. My mom and I used to go over to Aunt Donna and Uncle Will's house a lot. I just remember being there and having lots of fun. I will miss him very much.
Heidi, John, Shawne and Aunt Donna, you are all in my prayers and I will continue to pray for you that the Lord will give you the strength you need. God Bless you all.
