Don and I will be forever grateful to Donna for the dedication and excellence she gave to Hesterman Bowl's Junior League program. She truly cared for each and every child in the league. Donna also shared a friendship with me that I have kept in my heart all this time. All the Carlson's share your sadness but rejoice in her memory.

Deepest sympathy, Bob and family. Your mom was my first bowling coach. She was a great lady with an uplifting spirit. I truly looked up to her even though she was itty bitty she had a big heart. Rest in peace Donna.
