Was so sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. She was always so fun and creative and will treasure the Christmas ornaments she made - angels, clothespin soldier and a ice cream soda made from a plastic communion cup. They will adorn our Christmas tree again this year with many fond memories. Our prayers are with Bill and the family at this time.
