Karen, Ray, and Brian -
I am so sorry to hear of Donna Gail’s passing. I have such fond memories of your mom…many hours at swim meets with our moms and Keltie, dance at Joel’s, and spending so much time at your house on Waverly. She was always so kind and had such a great laugh. I know she will be missed. I will be out of town for work and am so sorry I won’t be able to attend her service. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I will miss your laughter and kindness. You will always be in my heart.
