Hello my beautiful sister. I miss you so very much. Things are so different here. 7 weeks ago Steven passed away and joined you in heaven. Joyce and I are so heartbroken to have lost him. But knowing he is with you does give us some peace. I was outside the other night and the stars were so bright and I asked him to show me a shooting star, it didnt happen though. This morning as I went outside with my coffee I looked up and saw the brightest shooting star ever! I would like to think it was you or him, showing me that you guys are still with me! Give our nephew a kiss for me! I miss you both so much

Our condolences to the family. We were so fortunate that Donna was our friend for a long time. I have watched her doing so many good things for SCAD, LCAD and several committees. She was a truly wonderful advocate. We are so blessed to own 2 beautiful pieces of cross stitch that Donna did for us. We took most recent piece to be framed yesterday. Thank you, Donna, for being our friend. May God comfort you, Donnie, and we keep you in our prayers and thoughts.
In Him,
