Dear Bill, Sharon, Tim, and Tony
I am so sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. She was a wonderful woman. I have many fond memories of Sunday dinners and playing cards around your dining room table. She was a soft shoulder to land on and a surrogate mother to some of us in the neighborhood. I was blessed to have known her and truly loved her. May she rest in peace.
