Donna was my friend growing up on Marshall Street and although we did not stay in touch it I remember her fondly. Last time we saw each other was at the fair 2014 and enjoyed visiting with her at the Cattlemen's tent where John was cooking steaks and we certainly did enjoy the steak that John cooked. This is a great loss to you family along with the death of John in the spring, our thought and prayers are with you all.
