Kevin and Donahue family,
I am truly sorry to hear about your mom. I'm 42 now and I know your mother as Mrs. Donahue and your father as Mr. Donahue. There is something to be said for the way we address someones mother and father. I can only explain in that way. Your mom was someone who not only kept you safe and made you what you are but she was someone important to the rest of us growing up with you as well. I know you were very close. I hope this message finds you and your family healing well. I'll certainly pray for your mom and your family.
