Donnie was a cousin. He will be remembered with fond memories of when we visited Aunt Mid or their clan would come to collingdale to visit. I was too young to play with the big kids but I remember Donnie and Frank and Jack and Paul with my brothers Jack and Jim and Bob. Great times were had. Donnie will be missed by my family and I.
Uncle Donnie will always be remembered for his laughter, quick wit and being the best Uncle anyone could ever have. He will be sadly missed, but I know he’s at peace in heaven making my Mom laugh just like he always did. He was loved by everyone and will always hold a place in my heart.

Dear Mrs. Meyer,
Sorry for your loss. I’m not sure you’d remember me by name (Peggy Braun), but I sat you and your husband many times when I worked at Willow Valley.
I used to kid you about the time you arrived and say it was 8pm.
I know it’s hard. My late husband died in 1993.
Last time I saw you and Don was at Columbia Diner last year ,and he gave my friends a plant.
Sincerely,
Peggy Braun
