    Condolence:

    I cared for Donald at Heritage Care Center when he was a resident there. I do activities and remember chatting with him or getting things for him, made him racing flags for his room.
    I went to Buckeye Central school where he was a student. He has had a long fight but know he is enjoying life now. Cherish your memories.
