Your mom and my mom (Kathy Kilburg Donegan) were dearest friends from childhood. I heard about her passing and wanted to wish your family our condolences. We lost mom 2 years ago now so I sadly know your pain and I'm hopeful that the Kathy's are reunited, together again in heaven, happy and at peace. Wishing you hugs from the Donegan family.
