Dear Dale and family,
I am so very sorry to hear about your Mother. I'm not sure if you will remember me, but my dad and your dad worked together at Tarrant County Sheriff's Dept many years ago, your mother always kept in contact w/my parents over the years and was one of the first people to contact my mother when my dad died in 1991, and up untill we lost my mother in 2003. Donita was always so special to them and our family. Please know that you and your family will be in our prayers.

Donita was very special to me, for it was her that my mother named me. I will always remember visiting her when I was at my grandparents who lived nextdoor on my vacations in Blue Mound. You will be deeply missed but I take comfort knowing I will see you again.

Donita was a very dear friend. We had lots of fun going shopping together. Most of all of going to church and working in Women's Ministries together. She was truly loved.
May God truly bless you, Dale & David and comfort you in your loss.
