Donald, I can't believe you gone. I'm so glad that I got a chance to see you last year and took pictures with you. You ARE by far my oldest friend of 48 years. You're like my second big brother because I met you through Stanley. We had some good times and I will miss those times with you. To the Horton family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Donald was a great friend, a mentor, a confidant. He always was willing to help without judgment and that's what I'm going to miss about him. My sincerest condolences.
Please know that you are one of my dearest cousins, and my thoughts and prayers are not enough to express how I feel. I hope that you know you have given me and my family some of the best smiles and joy one can give. You and I will find comfort in the memories. I love you, My First Cousin, Donald Horton.
