We lived across the street from Donna and Don (Bruce Way, No. Highlands...still there)...I have many fond memories of both of them. My condolences to all of you. She will be missed.

To the children of Donna,

I became aquainted with Donna at Don & Sally's family get togethers on Brace Rd, in Loomis, years ago. Your Mom was always very pleasant and easy to talk to, and I always looked forward to going and seeing her there. I know you are going to miss her terribly, just try to remember the good times together. We send our most heartfelt sympathy to all of you in your loss.

Sincerely, Dorothy & E J Breiten
