I cannot believe that it’s been 15 years since Donelle’s passing. We met in late 1978 while I was an undergraduate student at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. I needed a place to live and a friend
referred me to the Sawatsky family’s basement
Bedroom. Because of Donelle’s encouragement and prayers, love and support, I was able to graduate and then marry my lifelong partner in a small
Ceremony at the university chapel. When her family moved to Winnipeg we remained in contact by letter and telephone calls. Donelle met her diagnosis of Huntington’s disease with courage and faith in Jesus Christ. I continue to pray for Andrew and Jarem and their beautiful families. May God continue to use you to bring faith, hope, and live into this world. Your mother was so very much a light in our lives.
