FOND MEMORIES
I was sad to hear the news of Donnie's passing. I didn't know he was ill,
however God decided he needed him to be in a better place and continue eternal life there.
I have fond memories from the time we were very young grade school and we all use to hang out with the Bickert family. I remember the two Mom's both hairdresser's and we got a kick out of that. The Kauffman guys always had the latest hip hairstyle,courtesy of Mom Dawn.
Donnie was fun to be around always made you laugh and had a great heart.
I recall seeing him in later years and still looked the same as high school. I wish the family peace and healing and beautiful memories.
