    Aunt Donice. I was heartbroken to hear you had slipped away from us. You were a great lady. You were always so sweet to us as children. I loved going to visit you with my Grandma June. You were always laughing and smiling and it was contagious. You brought the best out of my grandma. I know she loved you dearly. Im so glad the last time I saw you I had the opportunity to do your hair and make you feel pretty. It was the least I could do for all the generosity and kindness you showed me and my family. Im so fortunate to have known someone so pretty on the inside and out. Love you. Jennifer.

    We were so sorry to hear of Donnice’s passing. You have our deepest sympathy. Donnice and Lowell were such good neighbors and friends to my parents Bryan and Evelyn Tucker. Donnice always had such a big smile and wonderful laugh. My mom lives with us here in Austin and sends her sympathy to you all. Donnice was such a big help to mom when my dad passed away in 1994. Just know that people are thinking of you during this hard time.
