Even though I've never met Mrs. McDonald, I feel as if she could have been my own Mother. I say this as I've gotten to 'know her' through her daughter Rosie. I only wish I could have met her face to face. I think I would have enjoyed being around her.
My purest thoughts & sincerest condolences to her family.
