When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. In the coming weeks, months and years to come may the wonderful treasures fill your hearts with love and bring you peace. My thoughts and prayers of peace and tranquility are with you during this time. "1 Thessalonians 4:13-14"

It was a pleasure to visit with Donna at Symphony. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and a funny comment to bring you up. She will be missed. Wayne and Donna were so devoted to each other, I wish him the most heartfelt condolences.
