    Sooo sorry Dean and Family. I loved ur mom she was one of my favorite down to earth aunts🤗. Death is an enemy (1Cor 15:26) , one that none of us want to succumb to but have no choice. We as family and friends left behind experience a tremendous sense of loss that in the beginning was never meant to be. I look forward to seeing her again under very different circumstances (Acts 24:14,15).

    Dean and family, So sorry to hear about the passing of Donna, even though we haven’t been in contact recently Donna was part of our family and thought of often. We remember your mom bringing you over to play with your cousin Terri and other memories that were always good with your mother.

    God Bless RIP Donna
    Uncle Jim and Aunt Barbara
