  • Mamie Wilson

    Donnie and Dorothy were always there for me as a kid and a teenager. I lived with them when I could not be as home. I would have never met my husband if I had not stayed with them in the summer of 1966 and was able to get a job to finish school. Donnie and Dorothy became my second parents. I have many memories going to lakes with them and learned so much from them. They taught me so much. I will always love them.
