Donnie told me he was just waiting for Jesus to come and get him. He knew exactly where he was going and was looking forward to seeing his Savior in person. I told him, I was jealous that he was heading home before me. He was in pain and counting the days and still witnessing about his precious Lord. I will hold that memory in my heart until the day I join him there.
