Sadly it has been along time since we caught up Jimmy. You almost broke my ribs with the huge hug you gave me when I was last over there from Perth. We spoke often on the phone. I thank you for the great contribution and support you made to Clan Donald Western Australia with your articles on your Memories of “Our McDonald Clan”. The Story you wrote about “Your Uncle Don” (my Dad) I will never forget. Thank you. The memories you wrote about, so many different things over the year, your travels and adventures. You would tell the stories with so much passion for what you had experienced. The life you have lived with not only the love of your life but your wife and soul mate Yvonne was your greatest achievement. Your family, Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren, their lives will be sadder for your passing.
Time to rest now Cuz. Safe journey and the very sweetest of dreams .
Your will forever be loved and missed. Pam and Sarah xx <3 <3
