I knew Dona and her sister, Louise, when we were children and all lived on Rural Street. The three of us spent a lot of time together, dressing up and playing house. We had such fun, and were sad when we had to move away from each other. I always hoped we would get together as adults, and even though that never happened, I never forgot either of them. I am sorry Dona and Louise have passed, but glad they are together.
Dick, I am so sorry for your loss. Hope you have a speedy recovery from your illness.

Growing up with Aunt Dona was a blast. She would come to our house and party with Mom and we would have water fights in the summer and snow ball fights in the winter. I loved getting her to laugh, her laugh was contagious. She would laugh so hard she would be crying. I Love her so much. On the Wings Of Angels, Sing as you fly. I miss you.##imported-begin##wendy copenhaver##imported-end##
