I am sorry to hear about your loss. Although I had lost touch over the past few years, I have many fond memories of spending time with both Donna and Otto.

My thoughts are with you.

Sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I lived across the street for several years until my divorce. I have since remarried and moved to Liberty, but thought of her often. With deepest sympathy... Sharon Guess

I am so sorry to hear of your loss and can only imagine the void that is now left in your hearts. My family lived across the street from Donna and Otto for many years and has continued to hold both of them dear in our hearts.

My thoughts and prayers go out to each and everyone of you.
