| Dear Wayne and family, Just wanted to let you know that our thoughts are with you in your great loss. We will miss Donna and have always so much enjoyed our visit out to your farm and the great warmth and hospitality you have always shown us. She will be so very much missed, but oh what fond memories we will have of her. I often think of some of our nights up in her room on the farm when we were all kids. I always looked forward to those times! |

| I remember Donna, still weak from chemo, grabbing Wayne as he passed the couch where she rested, pulling him to her for a meaningful smack on the lips. She knew what was important! That included her wonderful sons and spouses, her grandkids and Mom,her neighbors, family, and friends near & far, welcoming all with her bright smile, ready ear, and usually something she'd baked,canned or picked from the garden.If we were all like Donna,earth would be as it is in heaven,which is where she lives no |
