Ladonna was always such a lady. Warm, genuine and so caring. I knew her from my teen years when I took care of Dana and Lisa Tigges and then as an adult when my husband and I made Perrysburg our home. As Janet aged I would frequently see LaDonna and she was just as kind and caring. She was an angel on earth and now in heaven. I hope all of the family can find comfort in your wonderful memories of her.
