My wife and I are so sorry to hear of her passing. I worked with her in Alpena and found her to be so helpful and knowledgeable as well as a great person. My wife spoke with her on the phone and felt as if she had known her for years.
Our prayers are with you.

Donna was my fellow employee with Crossmark and my boss with Rms, she was a wonderful, kind, patience boss, and a wiz at teaching the art of sunglass display. I so enjoyed her postings on Facebook and will truly miss her smile, family photos and all her Italian humor posts. My deepest sympathy to you all.
