Frank and Family,

I just heard about Donna's passing from Billie Shelton in Texas. I am so sorry for your loss. Donna was so good to my brother (James W. Gauntner) and me when we visited you a few years back as we came to look for Gauntner roots in Pa. She was wonderful and gave so of her time as we visited relatives, churches, and grave sites. I am sure she is now in heaven and sees all the answers to those question marks she still had on the fmily tree.

Leslie and family,

I am saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She fought the good fight, and has finished the race, and now is in the nearer presence of the Savior she sought to know. May this reality bring you comfort in grief and hope in the midst of sorrow.

Franklin, it was with sadness I learned of the passing of your wonderful wife Donna. I took great pleasure engaging in conversation with her at our last class re-union. I'm sure the happy memories of your life together will get you through this period of grief. Leonard and I lost our oldest daughter in February of this year so we can associate with your loss. Please convey our condolences to yours and Donna's family. Mary (Hoffman) Seese
