Oh, Donna,

What good neighbors you were to us on Hummingbird Lane, and what support Lee was to me the day Jean died. He was truly my angel on that day and I am eternally grateful. You have now joined me on this journey and you will find, as I have, what comfort our memories are.

Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and in my heart.

With love,

Joy
