I’m sad that we will no longer be blessed with the sound of your laughter and the feel of your hugs; but I’m reassured in knowing that this is not the end for you, but a beautiful beginning pain free and driving in an an awesome, mint condition old convertable down the Streets of Heaven <3. Love always, till we meet again.

Posted at 21:52h, 06 MayI was saddened to hear of Donelle’s passing but know that “great is her reward”. I had the great blessing of meeting her on a tour to Israel led by Pastor Les Smith and I several years back. Aways a smile and in great spirits she was one of those tour members you wish you had many more like her. She’s on the ultimate tour: heaven. She and Dick were a true ministry team.
