I just heard about Donna's passing. I taught at Lewis Central for many years, mostly at Central Elementary. Those that taught with Donna said she was a wonderful teacher.

Your family is in our prayers. We were so sadden to hear of Donna's sudden passing. She was such a lovely person and so pleasant. She was so interested in my knee replacement surgery a month ago and told me that she needed to have it done. And if mine came along OK, she thought she'd give it a try. Oh, Donna, you don't have to worry about your sore knees now. God's got you on a cloud now! Peace be with you all. You lost a lovely wife, mother and grandmother. Your church family is going to miss you too.
