To Donna's family, my name is Linda Manning and I work for Associated Home Care. I was assigned as Donna's Companion and only got to visit her twice. I just found out today of Donna's passing and was so sad. For those 2 times I visited I feel I learned so much about her family. She was a very sweet person that talked of her family in such a loving way. I am so sorry for your loss. Peace to Donna and thoughts and prayers for her family.
