Prayers for Aunt Donna and her family. Donna was so special; we loved her.
We want to share our sympathy with you in the passing of your mother. We had never met her but seeing her picture we can certainly tell you look like your mother.
After we get out on our own, it seems we get so busy raising our families and working toward our own successes that time passes and soon our parents are getting older and more frail. It is hard to imagine them at this stage in life but we must face the fact that soon they will no longer be with us. It leaves an emptiness in us with only fond memories to cling to. Remembering the best of those times helps us heal.
Our thoughts are with you in this time of loss and sadness. Cling to the best memories you have of your mother growing up and beyond.
Condolences to all of you. Donna was a great lady. She is now dancing with Phillip in heaven.
My sincere condolences for her family. Donna was a sweet, sweet lady. Always a smile on her face. Love to all.
