Auntie Donna was not only an amazing aunt, but a 2nd mom to many of us. Thank you Auntie Donna and Uncle Tom for all the holiday dinners, weekend trips to the Cape, shopping, singing oldies, and even going to church. Memories that I will always cherish and never forget. You both will truly be missed, but never forgotten. Until we meet again, I love you.

It was once said "Mother is the word for God on the hearts and lips of children" and you embraced the infinity, the power of this in it’s entirety. There will never be a day I won’t see your face, a sunset , a sunrise, a storm , a summer breeze , nor in song. We will meet again in the setting sun of my life as I cannot and will not ever let you go. Miss you already ma, today and until my last. Love you. See you soon
