February 27, 2024 at 12:14 pmDear Barbara, Jeff, Jon and Jennifer,
I was deeply saddened to hear about that Donn, my good old friend, had recently passed away.
Donn dedicated his whole life to education. He was deeply loved by many students. With his infinitive sacrifice, never-back-down caring hands and non-stopping loud laughers, anyone associated with him will admire him from the bottom of heart. I will miss him forever.
Please accept my sincere condolence.
May God bless you.
Sincerely,
Luh
