Westlake Village, CA Sunday, October 22, 2023 Sending my love and prayers to my Uncle Gene, Mary Louise, and my cousin Donald Ray’s family. I’m so sorry to hear about Donald’s passing.Donald, I didn’t know you very well, but I remember you staying with us at our home in Palos Verdes when I was a child. I remember you had a playful spirit. I’m sorry I didn’t know you better and wish we could have spent more time together. I know your momma, your brother, and your grandparents were waiting for you in heaven. You’re probably all having a good laugh and enjoying being together. We’ll be there with you someday, but for now we’ll hold on to memories. Thank you for your service to our country. Love you, cuz! ❤️

Anchorage, AK Friday, October 20, 2023 My deepest condolences, I only meet my uncle once while I was down there for my dads funeral. We got to hang out for a bit while I was there and I really enjoyed meeting him and all the great stories he had to tell. If things would have turned out differently I believe he would have been my most favorite uncle of them all and we would have been close. Best wishes for you and your family. God BlessTeressa Kelly
