Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Donna, you are not only my sister, you are my best friend. My heart is broken into a million pieces and I don’t think it will ever heal. You are my rock, my strength and my courage. I love you with everything in me and I know that I will see you again one day. As you sit at the right-hand side of God, remember to put in a good word for me. Tell Mama, Daddy, Mike and Johnny hello and tell my furry baby boy Earl that I love and miss him so much. I will be eternally grateful that you are my sister. As you often like to remind me what mama always said to us I love you a bushel, a peck and a hug around the neck! Until we meet again in heaven my sweet angle. Your loving heart broken baby sister Paula.

Donna You were my favorite sister named Donna. (Family joke). You and I were the closest in age. You were always there and now you aren’t. Can’t believe that you have left us to join mama, daddy, Johnny and Mike. Why God decided to skip me, I don’t know, but I do know that one day we will all be together again. Always know that in spite of everything, I did love you and always will. You will be missed more than you know. Ann
