I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Donna May. As her youngest sister, I didn't get to know her very well, but thought and wondered about her often.

I am so sorry to hear Donna Mays passing. She has always been in our thoughts and prayers. I have great memories of her. Since I have always been told I am just like her, I wished I got to know her better. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do please let me know.
