"Mom, Aunt Debbie, and Uncle Billy, Its really hard knowing that Aunt Donna is no longer here! I have nothing but good memories of her since Mark, Michelle and I were little. I know its hard on everyone who knew her and knew what a kind hearted person she was! And all the wonderful times we spent together with Aunt Donna when we were kids. She never had a mean streak in her she really loved her neices and nephews and always made sure that we were happy! I know my Mom and my Aunt Donna were really close and I knew that since we were kids. But I feel that my Mom and my Aunt Debbie really can use the support right now because that is their sister and they were all really close to her as I was too. My mom my aunt Debbie, and my siblings never was mean to my Aunt or mistreated her in anyway. I really am going to miss my Aunt Donna and I will never forget how important it is to me to cherish all the great memories that we shared with her. I also appreciate all that she has done for my kids as well. I will never forget that either. If anyone ever needs to talk I am Jenn Aunt Donna's biological neice please feel free to contact me at 1-509-876-2640 "
