I loved Donna like a sister and we spent a lot of time together when we were young. We reconnected when she moved back to Iowa. I will always love her and death does not change that. Im sad because I didnt get to see her much lately. She is considered family even before she married Ronald. Her pain is over. We used to sing a song that said hey hey he he get off of my cloud I think of her when I hear it.I will share a cloud with her when I get there. Kiss my mom for me my friend. Im sure she was waiting for you when you got there. Love, Debbie

We connected the very first time we met almost 2 years ago. I feel like I've known you a long time. I'm so sad that we did not get to grow our relationship. You put up a hell of a fight woman and I admire you for that. I hope you're having conversation with Uncle Ray because I know he would have loved you here on Earth. Keep a close watch on us all until we meet again I love you.
