Paul Donald, donβt even know where to start, you were the brother I never had. We grew up together, so many memories from you eating breakfast every morning with Mom and I, you loved your SUGAR JETS, to you telling me that a bear was going to look in my bedroom window, you had me terrified to go to bed,by the way, to you throwing mice and snakes at me when I was driving the tractor during haying season, I still hate snakes!!!! We laughed together, we cried together, had such good times just being kids. You were ALWAYS laughing, making jokes all of the time. I remember sledding down the hill in the winter and the long walk back up the hill, I remember how we cried when MOM, passed away,and how close to her you were, you called her AUNTIE, you were my rock during that awful time of my life. Do me a big favor and give her a hug for me, I know you are now together in heaven. Thanks for being my brother,my friend,my rock. I love you Paul Donald, May you be with your family now,and FOREVER Rest In Peaceπππππ₯°π₯°π₯°π₯π₯π₯
I will miss you always, my brother, Rest In Peace, hope they have a bowling alley in heaven! Forgot to leave my name on my previous memory but I know you know in your heart who it was,
Love,
Debbie
