Donna befriended me senior year when I was new to Escambia and I will be forever thankful for her kindness to the new girl. A bonus was Diane. We had some memorable times together.

Brownsville Jr. High and Escambia High. We all loved Donna and Diane. I was so happy to connect with both at our EHS 40th reunion and in most recent years at our EHC class picnic. My heart and prayers are with all friends and family.
