Rob, Squire, Patrick and family,
I am so sorry to hear that Donna has passed. I just heard this news today, or I would have been at the memorial services. Many childhood memories spent with Donna are ones that I will forever cherish. She was my sister, and not just a friend - she will be deeply missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My love to you all.
