A Tribute to my Friend Donny

by Pastor Darcy Albers


"I first met Donny while I was renting the trailer at Hastings while going to seminary. We connected very quickly over our shared love of camp, but I think I made a friend for life when I commented once that sausages were an under-appreciated art form of food. Donny in his excited, yet still humble way, said, “Oh, I like sausages quite a bit too.” I would later learn that this was a

massive understatement, because sausage making was one of Donny’s life passions, and he had even taught the art at NAIT’s culinary classes..."

While we are grateful for what has been provided thus far, our current funds are not enough to cover our year end bills, expenses, and operational costs.
