Jennifer, I’m so sorry to see that your Mother passed away. Aggie and I throughly enjoyed your Mom. She was very funny and a delight to be around. I wish we could have enjoyed more of your Mom but COVID hit and kept everyone at home. Our prayers are with you in this devastating time.

My deepest sympathy to all of Donna’s family and friends. Please accept my apologies for being so late in responding.
Donna was one of a kind. Genuine, down to earth , friendly, caring person . We became friends as children, going to school together, playing in the neighborhood and growing up. Sadly losing touch as we grew up but I have nothing but good memories of Donna and will always cherish them.
