Donna Sue, So sorry to read about your mother’s passing. I actually drove by the house this week and wondered where she was living now. I have many fond memories of our mothers and grandmothers. We had some very good times growing up in the neighborhood. I think we got Donna Sue and Donna Lee more there than anywhere with our first names being the same. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
