Donald was a special friend of mine through First Baptist Church of Myrtle Beach. I visited many times in his home as part of a church shut-in program. We became good friends sharing about our families and our blessings that God gave us. He was a lovely and kind man who loved his wife and son Dusty with all his heart. I will his smile and sweet spirit.
