Mr. Addenbrook,
Sympathy is only a small consolation from the hearts of us who shared your sorrow. Dona was a special person and I have fond memories of the laugher, luncheons, and good times at NUS. I pray that our powerful and loving God will give you and your family strength at this difficult time.

Bill - Dona took me in when I had no where to go. I was suppose to stay for a little bit, over 10 years later I moved out. Dona made me part of her family. We had alot of good times, we been through alot together. I will always think of you and Dona every time it snows. We always made ginger bread on snowy mornings. I wish I could be there with you on Saturday but I can't. But my heart will be with you. We will deeply miss Dona! Stay in touch Bill...
