Jodell & Family: We were so sorry to see that Donna had passed away. There were many good times with your family years ago…and Donna & Jerry were often there; they were so nice and welcoming whatever the occasion! 2014 has been a year for recalling memories of loved ones who are now with the Lord….and that knowledge produces peace in the midst of sadness. Your family will remain in our prayers.
