I am so thankful for my sister in law Donna! She was such a beautiful model to me of a Christian wife, mother, and sister in law. Our visits were always full of joy and love! I will miss her terribly, but I know she is with her Savior, Jesus Christ, and with her loving husband Joe.

I was deeply saddened to hear of my dear aunt Donna's death. She was a wonderful loving woman who always made us feel welcome and loved. We can only take comfort in knowing she's with my uncle Joe now, close to the Lord. My heart goes out to my dear cousins in their time of loss.
