Donnie (Don to me) and Ronnie both passed away in 2003. Ronnie passed in Feb. and Don passed in Aug., both from heart complications.  They were identical in every sense of the word!  I remember some of the pranks that those two pulled while in high school!  From doing weird things to the bronze "tiger" to rolling someones car over in the parking lot during a football game.  Even as adults, they still pulled some good ones.  On the day that Don and I got married, the guys switched places and right before the "I do's" they 'fessed up and switched places!  Don and I were divorced in 1995 but he will always be my best friend!  The kids and I love and miss you lots, Sweetie!!
