It´s been 20 years and I still think about the accident. I remember riding the bus with him and getting to know each other. He would´ve done so much with his life and who knows probably would´ve been good friends. He´ll always be with me in memory.

I know that along with the strength that God gives you....that your wonderful family will help you through this time of sorrow. Be strong...be hopeful....because Donnie is the one at rest now and you know he is safe and in good hands! God bless you and your family!

My thoughts and prayers goes out to the Toves family. My parents live directly across the street from you. I've had the opportunity to see little Donato many times. He was the sweetest child you could ever meet. I will miss him dearly. Just hold on to God's hands and he will bring you through.

Contessa and family,
No greater pain or suffering can be felt than the loss a loved one. Especially, the loss of a child so young! No words offered can minimize your suffering. We share in your loss and sorrow. And although Donnie is no longer here with us physically, he lives on spiritually in the hearts and minds of all who loved him. May it comfort the family, knowing Donnie lives on and now basks in heaven's light. He is home safe and secure in the warmth of our heavenly Father's love and embrace. Donnie is God's newest and happiest little Angel! Find comfort knowing that our heavenly Father hears our cries, feels our pain and sorrow. And only HE can ease the depths of our sorrows, lighten our burdens of pain and suffering and heal all wounds, if we but call on him. Today, and in weeks to come, we pray for the family to receive healing and comfort. In time, may the family once again find joy and laughter. And as you recall the special moments and times of Donnie's short life, cherish them! These are the memories that keep Donnie alive and in our hearts forever.
With deepest Sympathy,
Debbie Wieters
