We are thinking of you
Kathy,
Dave has always been such a caring, positive role model. While our interactions very the years may have been brief, it was clear how much his family meant to him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With Sad Hearts
Kathy and Kelsey, I am so sorry for your loss. I was able to talk to Dave at the pool last summer while Kelsey was in the pool swimming laps. He told me how he met you at IHM and how much he loved you. You could see it in his eyes that he meant every word. He told me that Kelsey was working and going to school also. He told me that he was so proud of Kelsey and couldn’t say enough about her. He loved you both very much which you already knew this. He made me feel like I knew him a long time. I just wish we could of connected sooner. My prayers to you and Kelsey. Your neighbor. Don an Vickie Stulz
My deepest sympathies
Donahue Family,
I am so sad to hear of Dave’s passing. Dave was one of the good guys. While his passing will leave a void in our parish community, I know he is resting with our Lord. God bless you all and may the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace, Amen.
