Deb;
I just heard that your mother passed away. It's difficult to know what to say during times such as this; but our only strength is knowing that she is no longer suffering.

Donna and I had some fun times together, when we sat next to each other at work; especially when I would pull pranks on her! ;-) I am sure I enjoyed those pranks more than she did.....

I am sorry that I won't be able to make it to the funeral, but please know that you are in my prayers.

To Donna's family,
My sympathy and prayers to you on the loss of Donna. I grew up on High Street next door to Donna, Margie, Gerry and Adda. She was such a sweet little girl so good to her brother & sisters and fun loving too.
Sincerely,

Deb and family, I remember your Mom when we were Girl Scouts. I specifically remember the skin and make-up class we took with a Jafra consultant. All of us girls wanting to leave the make up on and the Moms were like, oh no, that's coming right off when you get home!

I am so sorry for your loss and I pray the good memories help to ease the hurt.
