So sorry to hear about Donna. She was such a dear friend to my mom ever since their days as A&P co-workers. Even with mom’s dementia, she recognized Donna’s photo & got a little tear in her eye for the brief moment she understood the sad news of Donna’s passing. We are keeping you all in our thoughts & prayers. May many happy memories & the love & support of family & friends give you strength & comfort at this difficult time.
