Your beautiful legacy will be passed on through your children and grandchildren RIP

My condolences to the Donovan family

My mother-in-law was a wonderful person and she had a wicked sense of humor. While we didn't know each other for very long, I'm eternally grateful for the time that we did spent together. She will always be missed. Looking forward to celebrating her on January 30th.

Nor, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Know that love and prayers are going your way during this difficult time.

Aunt Marge was my favorite dance partner at family parties. I’m sure the Donovan Gang welcomed her at Heaven’s gates.
Love, Kerry
