We were privileged to get to know Donell & Elsie over the last few years through our friendship at Old Hickory Mall. Enjoyed morning visits, laughs, occasional meals and lots of good times together. Donell was a man of strong character, integrity, and morale courage - characteristics demonstrated by Marine Corp members and he will be sorely missed by all that knew him.

Donell Britt was one best men I've ever known. If the world only had more like him it would be a much better place.
So long Donell and thank you for being my friend , I surely hope to meet you again.
