Don and family, how difficult it must be for you to lose such a wonderful person as Donna. I was in her Write On class at Rambler's Rest in Venice, Florida for many years and she was such a great mentor. Great sense of humor and she made learning so fun. A very special lady to me and all who knew her.We will miss her so very much. Our sincere sympathy to you. Pat and Larry Olson
