    Hello, I am Ann Bastin's daughter-in-law and I just wanted to say I am thinking and praying for the family. I had the opportunity to meet Donnie a few times through family events that we attended with Ann, and he was such a warm and welcoming person. You could tell he was a very loving family orientated man. Given my very positive few encournters with him, I can only imagine the wonderful impact he had on many.
