Rob and Kari I am sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. Donna was a very special, lovely and caring lady. I remember as a kid visiting you and your mom and dad almost everyday. Donna was a very good friend to my mother. I'll remember her with love and admiration. She loved you both so very much. She will be greatly missed. Love and prayers to you Rob and Kari.

Donna was a wonderful person. I expect that Lyle was there next to Jesus to welcome Donna home.
