My condolences to all Donna's family. I have fond memories of her and will never forget how much she and Pep did for my mother during her health struggles. Donna was a very caring and thoughtful person and I'm glad I was fortunate to know her. I know how much she enjoyed her family and how important you all were to her.

Love,
Nancy Looney
