Roger, I am very sorry for you an your families loss. I did not know Donald. I do know his son Roger, who is a good man.
As a fellow Marine, we share the same heritage or brotherhood. I would like the share the following prayer with you and your family.
This has been often said at Marine funerals that I have attended.-
Fair winds and following seas may forever you feel, upon your cheek, the salty breeze. Your spirit lives on in many a heart, your words captured and never to depart.
May your loved ones be comforted knowing that heaven is where you are going.
Semper Fi- Donald
Sending thoughts to Mary and the family , very sorry to hear of Donald passing ,
