Tributes
I was sorry for your loss. I graduated with Donnie from Lincoln HIgh School. We had several classes together, but I remember one study hall best of all. Several were taking some math class that the instructor wasn't getting through to the class. I worked with about 8 of them and formed a lasting relationship.
