Dear Michaels family- I have many fond memories of LaDonna, volunteering with her @ Paws & Whiskers Cat Shelter in the 2000’s. I can still see her standing @ the grooming table (that she assembled each time) in the shelter, as she groomed cat after cat, for hours @ a time. I also have fond memories of working the numerous fundraisers for them she either spearheaded or was an integral part. LaDonna was a good soul. May you, her loved ones, find comfort in knowing she made a huge positive difference in the lives of literally thousands of felines, and in the human lives, she touched along the way!
