Dear Jim and Family – My sincere sympathy in the loss of Donna. Knowing both of you for many years, but out of touch since we left Lucan, means I am now bringing to mind many memories and we always hoped to see someone we knew when passing through Lucan. We did see you a couple of times and I remember we did stop to talk once. Your family will keep precious memories alive.
