Donna you will be missed. I always enjoyed chatting with you both in Riteade and when I saw you outside your home while visiting friends in Campton Heights. I pray God embraces you with open arms and that he watches over your daughter and grandson. You will be missed.

I’m so sorry for the lost of this person who sounds like a very good person, I was first to reach her at the accident because it was right in front of my home, I want you all to know that she did not suffer, it was instant, I was at her vehicle within 15 to 30 seconds. She is resting now in Jehovah God’s memory for the resurrection of many others……
