I think about Donna a lot because she is the mother of my nephews and niece whom I love dearly. These 3 sons and daughter are like my little brothers and little sister because I tended them when they were young. Donna was a very loving mother and grandmother and a special sister-in-law and friend to me.

I loved Donna like a sister. When she was a young mother, I would come to my brother, Bill, and Donna's house on Highland Drive and tend their children, Billy, Kenny, Doug, and Karen.
I loved their family and was treated like part of their family. Then when Donna married Al, I was always welcomed and treated like part of their family, too. Donna was a darling and good to everyone. I will miss her terribly but I know she is loving the get-together with all her loved ones. Love you, Donna.
