Not sure what to say?





Still miss you, even though I couldn't get to Alamo this winter. Think goodness you did not have to suffer through covid. I still miss Wayne and Glenna, hope to get to see them again next winter, and have a much better winter.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Wayne and family in the tragic loss of Ladonna.
We are friends from Alamo Palms RV Park and couldn't ask for a nicer couple.
We held our first DONNA party this winter and Ladonna was a smiling presence there. She will surely be missed.
Our deepest condolences.

We were so sad to hear of LaDonna's death and Wayne's injuries. We know them from south Texas. We will never hear Red Wing without thinking of her. We spent many hours together, sometimes over Dairy Queen, at our houses, and at jams. Prayers for Wayne.

We met LaDonna & Wayne in Texas square dancing. She was a wonderful lady always with a smile. Loved hearing her play the mandolin. She will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with you all.

We only knew Ladonna a short time when we met her and Wayne at a jam. She was a great lady and accomplished mandolin player. She will be missed by all. Sending our condolences to Wayne and family. Ed and Karin Jones Weslaco tx
