I have lost my dearest friend - so sweet, so gentle, so wise - an inspiration to all of us who had the privilege to know and love her. She taught us how to be a wife and how to be a mother and how to make cookies, pies and toffee. I will cherish her candy thermometer, a well-worn bridge book of Bob's and her magnificent dried hydrangeas. Early this spring, Donna and I had the opportunity to give each other a new experience - I took her to Wendy's for the first time. She loved the Chilli! She took me to the Fifties Drive-In. I loved the burgers! We shared so much in our times together - lunches out and shopping at the Farmer's Market were favorites. Most of all we shared love for our families. Donna's love and devotion to Bob was beautiful - truly livng her marriage vows. My heart aches for whom we have lost, but rejoices for whom we have loved.

I was so sorry to hear about your mom and was unable to attend the visitation. Your parents were such a positive force in my teenage years. Working at the hardware store during highschool, I was taught good work ethics and many lessons that have stayed with me my entire life. These lessons were taught by two people who both had a great sense of humor and love for their work, community and family. Your loss is great and I will be including you in my prayers.
