I was Donna’s lawn care and snow removal guy over the past decade and more. Always willing to help her in any situation as she was like the grandma we all cared for. I’m going to miss our conversations after getting whatever work needed to be done. She always inquired about my family and periodically I would bring my young teen daughters to enjoy her company while I worked. Prayers to the family during this time of loss.
Thank you Peter for your loving words and memories of Donna. She was always so thankful for your help and we were also! She loved when you came to do her lawn and then was able to have a time to visit.We thank you so much for your loving care for her and your prayers.
Mark,
I am very sorry for your loss. I hope your fond memories of your Mom eases your grief. I remember our days growing up on 4th avenue south and riding bikes everywhere.
Your old friend,
Randy Stinchfield
Donna was always such a good friend to my mom, Lucille Flavin, and they truly enjoyed each other’s company. I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and grant you His peace.
Thank you Nancy for your kind words. I have many memories of Donna sharing the times with her friend Lucille and how much she enjoyed your mom‘s company.
I am so sorry for your loss. Donna was a very special person in my life we laugh together and joked together all the time. She was a very witty lady. I never knew what whimsical comment she was going to come up with but most of them had me laughing so hard. I miss her dearly.
May the lord comfort you in your time of sorrow.
