David and Danny you have my deepest sympathy.
I have so many memories of Donna. She was my best friend when we were teenagers. We met playing softball and grew very close like sisters. We had a lot of fun times together up on the corner of Glenn Street and Michigan Ave and also with the neighborhood kids picking up basketball games, football games and wiffle ball games. We were always doing something together.
Fly high with the angels, my friend! You will always hold a special place in my heart.
