To all of you who helped thank you, we can't thank you enough. For those of you who have totally stupid comments of lifejackets, this is not the time. Hind site is 20/20 and we are all well aware of what a life jacket does for us, we can't change the fact my uncle did not have one on at the time he needed it most. However, the last thing we need to hear is what we all ready inevitably know. It will NOT bring him back and it definately does not make US feel any better, in fact it actually makes us feel worse. We lost an Incredible man today. My hind site is not visiting more often and not having that opportunity now. Not being able to say goodby because I don't have the means to be there with my family. Not being able to be there for my aunt in this terrible time of need of family. So the pitiful comment about a lifejacket would be exactly why? It did however i am sure make my family feel the same as it did me, terrible. My Uncle Don was an awesome man and always will be!! Love you uncle donnie, I will miss you terrible. My love goes out to my aunt and their daughter.
We lost a really good man today
