Your Donna lives on! I am just retired, starting to paint, and was told by a new friend in a painting intro class that I MUST watch her videos. God bless and take care. Suzan Lewis orlando fl

We grew up together as toddlers and cousins in Tenn. Fond memories of our times together as kids and young adults. I know you had some very rough days the last few years and I am so thankful you are now at peace with our Lord. I will miss knowing you are there and your loving way when I spoke to you on phone calls. We will miss you, but we know based on your faith in Jesus you are in a much better place.
