Doug and Dwona: I was your neighbor on 3rd Street in the mid-60's. I went to Harding Jr. High School. I remember both of you and Dwona's friend Diane Hall. I am so sorry for your Mother's loss. Please be comforted in knowing that she is joyfully reunited with her loved ones in Heaven who have gone before her. I know you are sad, but please remember the good times and happy memories with Donna and she will live on in your hearts forever. Take care and God Bless.
