Thoughts and Prayers for the family is this difficult time. God bless!
This really breaks my heart! My Mom Catherine Liesinger (Katie) cleaned at McKennan/Avera Hospital for years. They became friends and this is how I got to know Donny and the family. I have not seen Donny in years, but this news is very saddening. I want to send my condolences to Joyce, Ray, Jim, Lila, and Sheryl and the extended family. My thoughts and Prayers are with you all at this time. May the LORD comfort you all.
Sorry for your loss he will be greatly missed by many. I remember many memories with my cousin Donny. He can still make me smile and laugh.
