A co-worker just brought me a chocolate marshmellow chocolate egg. Took me back to about 5th or 6th grade when we lived on the corner of Manett and Garrett in Dallas. One of Mom's friends, Joyce Maxwell, brought Donnie and I a BIG box of chocolates for Easter. Such a huge box or so it seemed big at the time. Mom let us have 1 piece, and the rest of it went in the deep freezer and we were allowed to have 1 piece (or if a big chocolate bunny, then we could break off an ear or some part) and eat it once a day.
This is my first Easter without both Don & Marion. Incredible that they are both gone. I miss them both so very much. My heart is broken.
I know they are together and are in Heaven with Jesus and that someday I will join them. I treasure each memory I have of them until I am reunited with them again.
Hope you and your family have a very Blessed Easter!

lord almighty - i dont know what to say - i can only express my feelings with regret and sadness. i cannot believe two of the most beautiful, loving, forgiving, funny and awesome people ever to grace this planet are gone... it makes me sick... don and marion gave me SO much when i needed it and i never got the chance to thank them for it. we lost touch - through my laziness no doubt... but i've always kept them in my heart and in my mind - they are part of who i am and are with me everyday. i respected them both so much for doing what they did with their lives and who they were and how they were with others and how they treated everyone who came into gratitude. i loved them both and wish i could have thanked them for everything they ever did for me... I always thought one day i'd drop by gratitude and let them meet my family - but a day turns into a year, then 5 and then...
don and marion - thank you
i love you both and miss you both so much...
