My condolences to Donna's family and friends. I had often hoped to reconnect with Donna. We were friends in high school but most importantly found out at that time we are cousins. Her father and my mom were cousins. My mom's maiden name was Dorothy Riffel. I regret that Donna and I did not remain in touch through the years. She and her family are in my prayers.
