I’m so sorry for your loss, Beverly, Nancy & Ron. My favorite memory of cousin Donna is when she and Bev came to stay with our family in Va while her parents were traveling. I remember her smile and laughter and vividly remember her vast makeup case. As a 5 year old it was like nothing I’d ever seen before.
Rest in peace Donna. Give my brother Dave a hug and your Aunt Betty and Uncle Ken.
