Please accept our sympathy for your loss. In late 2019 or early 2020 my mom Charlotte Dugan and Donna became friends. Donna was delightful and she and mom were such a source of support for each other during their time at Heritage of Bloomington and Evergreen Place in Normal. They shared Caramel MMs among other things! Donna showed us it is never too late in life to make a difference in someone else´s! She was a wonderful person and Charlotte, my husband Scott and I were blessed to have known her.
