Dear Debra , Jessi, and David and Mike so sorry you’ve lost your Mother and your Granny. Thinking of you with big hugs. And I know Dennis is missing her too. At least we know she is in heaven and feeling no pain.
Thank you!
I am so sorry to hear this. You were an amazing daughter to your mom. No more suffering for her. I know you will miss her.

David and I are thinking and praying for you all.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful pictures. They sure did have me in tears. I have so many great memories of Aunt Donnie she was my favorite; she was always my favorite. She was the spicy one and yet the absolute kindest and so soft spoken. Heaven gained an angel and now she too will watch over us all. I’m thankful that she no longer has to suffer. She is missed but her memory and her love will live forever within me.
Thank you!
