“I’m so blessed to have been brought into this world by, raised by, taught by and set on my life’s path by, such an amazing woman,” he captioned the video, which was a compilation of moments between Alma, Donnie, Mark, and her extended family. “My mom Alma’s joy for life, love and people — combined with a pride in her humble beginnings and refusal to forget where she came from — undoubtedly shaped me into the man that I am.” While grappling with the loss of his mother, Donnie took the time to tell fans just how much he admired and adored her, as well as just how much she overcame to be the best mother possible to him and his brothers and sisters.
