Donna's Family,
My heart breaks for all of you, you're in my thoughts and prayers. Donna was one of my first clients and she stuck with me for 22 years. I enjoyed seeing her every other week for her nails and hair...she was like a second mother to me, always with good advice and wisdom to share. I will always remember her and hold her dear to my heart.
