God speed to meet with Charlie and Opal...run Donna run!
Donna was one of the most amazing women and friend anyone could have the pleasure of knowing. I cannot think of her without smiling and thinking of 5100 and her kitchen:). She was an inspiration and a gift. She turned her own loss into healing for others. She is now Safely home in Heaven, now at peace forever.
My heart and prayers go out to you Dennis. May you find Strength and Peace in the days ahead.

I was so sorry to see Mrs. Ranallo passed away. I am glad we got to reconnect a few years ago. She was an amazing woman who always cared about everyone else. I will remember with fondness our long talks in the kitchen. I am comforted by the fact that she and Chuck are together again! Mr. Ranallo, you are in my prayers!
