Donna will be missed. I have known her since childhood. I always enjoyed visiting with her when I was home visiting my Nana. She always had a beautiful smile and a contagious laugh. I will always treasure the memories swimming in the pool in her yard and the many family cookouts that I was so blessed to be invited to. She was so very loved by her extended family and friends.
RIP dear Donna. | | from: Tammie Brightwell | on: 08-26-2021 |
