My daughter and I visited DonnaMae a couple of weeks ago, she was telling us about all the Knomes she had purchased or someone had given her. She was always a flower garden person, her yard in the summer months was always full of dolor. She liked doing crafts , we use to go to thrift stores, go to Happy Red Hatters and all the places we visited. I will remember DonnaMae for her thoughtfullnesss of others and her creative mind. How hard she worked to get our Red Hat group involved in events at the Castle in Oregan IL. There are so many memories I don't know which to mention. Bless your families. we will all meet again someday and talk about these memories and more. I will miss you.

Aunt Donna will always be connected to Christmas..... Her decorations were beyond beautiful and a great memory to many people. Her baking was always so delicious(especially her pies!)! My favorite memory will always be parts of our East Coast trip with my sister, mom, grandma (Donna's sister) and Aunt Donna..... Will miss your cards Donna, give everyone BIG hugs for me!
