Bonnie and family, it was such a pleasure to care for Donna while she resided at The Elm's. Such a sweet lady who always had kind words for us. Whenever the mornings were tough, as we entered Donna's room, we knew what it was all about. She was a gentle and loving lady and we all miss her very much.
