We always had fun when Aunt Donna, Uncle Tom, Anne and Lynne would be visiting Grandma when we were there. My mom and Donna seemed to have a connection that was stronger than siblings and I remember them sitting at the dining room table at Grandma's house talking and laughing while the cousins played outside. Donna, may you rest in peace now. Mom is waiting for you to keep her and Dale company in heaven.

Your Mom, Lynne, gave me a small plant for my office years ago. It has grown into a "bush" -- a symbol of her life and legacy.
