March 24, 2020 at 5:35 pmGlen and Linda – so sorry for your loss. Enjoyed reading about Donna’s life. I left home in 1979 and still have pictures in my mind of everyone from the past. I always thought about Donna as one of the little sisters from the neighborhood and when I heard the sad news I could picture her curly hair and big smile. Great picture!!! .. and to a lot of us will always be a little sister!!! God bless.
