Jack & family. So sorry for your loss. I've known you and your Mother for years. I missed seeing you at the office. My prayers will be with you and yours. I know what a void there will be in your lives. I lost my Mother June 29th.

As our whole family knows, Aunt Donna was MY favorite Aunt. Never did she forgot my birthday, with a special card or a phone call. Her house was the ONLY house I would "sleep over" as a young girl. She even catered to my "picky" eating habits. She loved her kids and Grandkids with her whole heart, and always spoke of them so very proudly. Marsha, Connie, Jack and Karen...you were so blessed to have a MOM like Aunt Donna and I always considered her my "Second Mom". I will miss her so. All of our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
