Sending strength, light and healing to each of Donna's children, grandchildren and great grands.
The hours I spent in your home growing up, as "just" another kid in an already full household! I was never turned away and was never told "no"....there was always room for one more.
Each of you are in my heart and am I wishing Donna nothing but contentment on the next leg of her journey.
With my love,
Christine
