I can not begin to express how sad I am to just find out about Ms Donna. I will always remember her smile, her since of humor, and the love she had for just about everyone. We sure had some great times, 4-wheelin´, drinkin´, camping at the Lodge. She had a beautiful heart. I did however, got to see her in late Spring. We had a good conversation and of course, a big ol´ hug. I am so sorry for everyone´s loss. -Penny-
