Donna and the family.... So many wonderful memories of your mom (and dad)as great parents who took a part in our lives as we actually made it through our teens in one piece! I was always envious of your large family ... and now what a comfort to have all that support. Now the torch is passed to you ... and what wonderful footprints to follow!
Love,
Tobi (Norris) Guy
