When I was a teen, growing up with Donna as my best friend, she was my Mom as well as my own. She was ... I can't believe I'm saying "was"... the warmest, young hearted, accepting, loving, cheerfullest, devoted gentle spirit that I've ever met. She only wanted the best for anyone and everyone. My heart aches for you all, George, Mike, Donna, Nancy, Susan, Missy. I send you all my prayers and love.
