My condolences to the family of Donna Wates. I just saw Donna at the retirement meeting and she was looking good, talking and laughing about working 2 more years before her retirement.
I met her as an REA member. Her smile, outfits always with a scarf and her hair were here trademarks.
My heart is saddened that she did not get to enjoy her retirement.
May God Bless and help heal the grief and sadness brought on by death.

To the Wates Family,
Donna was a wonderful woman, someone we truly enjoyed and admired. I only wish we could have known her longer. Please feel the comfort of knowing she is with the Lord Jesus and no longer in pain.
God Bless you all and enjoy her little dog Max. She loved that little dog as he did her.
