Joe, Reggie, Roger, and all family members,
So sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. I remember her well from school and she was always a very sweet person. She had a beautiful smile that I’ll always remember, although I had not seen her in years. I’m sorry that I just now learned of this and did not get to attend any of the services to honor her memory. But it’s good to know I will be able to see her in Heaven one day. May God comfort you as only He can.
