I would like to express my deepest sympathy. I met Donna 5 years ago when I first starting working at Leila Arboretum Society. Donna was always smiling and very pleasant to visit with. One thing I really liked is that she always remembered your name even though she might have met you only a few times. Her smiling face will be missed at our annual plant sale that she visited yearly.
