"Laurie- I will forever remember you and Donnie on our first FaceTime call. I was a person neither one of you had ever met in person. Yet you and Donnie offered to pick me up at O’Hare Int’l Airport so that you two could drive me 5 hours to the Mayo Clinic, stay in a hotel with me for however long my procedures required me to be there-Drive me back to your house and let me stay with you a few days until my flight back to Boise. I asked why would you drive someone you don’t know, all that way with your husband?!?… and Donnie yelled to me “ Cuz I ain't got nothing else to do”. Lol Which in Donnie language was really showing what a big heart he has!! And what a journey that ride was!! I remember his need to wrap my blanket around him and have you send me the picture of him wrapped up all cozy to kid around like he was keeping my blanket because I left it at your house. I remember staying at your house and seeing my own breath as it was negative 10 in that house I swear!!!hahahaha. While at your house he couldn’t find something in the pantry and was giving you a hard time for not getting him what he asked you to buy…and I got up and it was right in front of his face. Oh how I wouldn’t let him get away without apologizing to you!!. We laughed so much that week and it felt like I knew yous for years!! l would joke about the size of the potatoes in Boise Idaho that we keep here for the locals and he wanted to come out here for the next road trip. That would have been an adventure for sure. Fun times and memories for sure! I will miss that son of a gun!! I am truly heartbroken for you and your family. I pray for strength for you all. With Love, ~Debi~"

"My beloved Donnie, I can’t believe this is the end of our physical journey together and boy was it a journey. My heart is broken yet filled with years of blessed memories. We were blessed with 2 beautiful girls and super blessed with 5 beautiful, amazing grandchildren that you were so close too and such a great, awesome and loving Grandpa. Until we meet again, spread your wings, watch over us and RIP! I love you babe! "

"Laurie my dearest & oldest friend, never thought we'd get to this day, but know he fought a long hard battle for years & years, now he's standing straight up & kicking his heels up there! As the days, weeks months go by just know he's walking right beside you with our dear Lord too. Cherish those 43+ years you had together, some good, some bad, but that's life as we know it. May god give all of you peace, strength, comfort, memories, smiles, tears, laughter & enough love to go on. Just because he's not here in the flesh he'll always be rigth there in your hearts. As the song goes..... Sometimes in our lives We all have pain We all have sorrow But if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow Lean on me When you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on...(Bill Whithers - Lean on Me) Love you my dear friend, when the time is right....lean on me xoxo "
