Donna Drake

When I think of Union Park / Park Manor, I will always remember Donna. She was one of the coolest neighbors we had. Her and my Mom were pretty close. Will never forget the night they went to see Prince. Happy Happy Women to say the least. I remember riding on the back of her motorcycle all over the place. She was like a big sister to me. I didn't get to see much of her in my adult life. Wish I had. R.I.P Donna love you dearly

Something that I learned from the epically beautiful Donna Drake.... She is the woman that showed me what true, unconditional love means. The kindness, compassion, gratitude, patience and purity she gave to my siblings and myself follows me into my motherhood adventures this very day. These things she showed consistently truly laid the platform for the rest of my life. She was one of the first adults in my life as a child that I fully trusted to the ends of the earth. She believed in me. She supported me. She pushed me to conquer my goals. But above all, she showed the love my siblings and I yearned for but never received growing up in the home that we did. I always and still to this day believe she was an angel sent from somewhere. That is what she made me feel. I will forever carry her in my heart. I love her always and forever.
