Uncle Bob, Dear cousins and families:
My first memory of Aunt Donna was the laughter she brought to Grandma Jeffrey’s Sunday dinner table on the farm.
Seems to me she was still in her baseball uniform that Sunday; her team won and perhaps was one her her first visits to that Jeffrey Clan! Uncle Bob married her and brought more happiness!
She did play the piano at our annual Christmas Jeffrey gatherings & Uncle Hugh was the conductor.
Aunt Donna was stead fast, always a kind and loving with a quick smile.
Treasure her lasting memory, my sincere condolence to all.
