The Noto girls
Donna was a woman that my sisters and I valued and loved. Being able to have her as a companion to my 94-year-old mother was a great blessing! They would spend hours playing cards and reminiscing about their childhood!
Donna became her full-time caregiver for a few years. She was extremely dedicated and loving towards my mother and a good friend to my sisters and me . Donna will forever be in our hearts
RIP Donna
