24 Mar 2023I’m so very sorry for your family’s loss.. Donna will be Dearly Missed..
I’m going to miss seeing her sitting across the aisle from me at Church.. She always had such a sweet smile.. I remember once I told her that she always smelled so good .. I asked her what perfume she was wearing.. She told me it was Donna Karan -Cashmere Mist.. She said she got it from Amazon.. I kept forgetting the name of it.. One Sunday I asked her again, because I wanted to order some.. She said she would text me the name and she did.. Now I’m finally going to get some….
Keeping the Family in my thoughts and Prayers..May the Lord be with you all in your time of Sorrow..
Love and Prayers

27 Mar 2023We are sad to hear of Donna’s passing. Donna was one of my best friends at Commerce and I was always so impressed by how loving she was towards Bill, her children, and other family members. She loved them all so much. She will continue to look over them from Heaven. Susie & Hap
