For Donna’s Family and Friends,
We had a great time playing poker, talking and reminiscing about about things we did in our youth at Raytown High. She was alway gracious as she pulled in nice sized poker pots while moderately sipping a fine single malt scotch, especially if the pot was won from some of her old pals!
She was fun to get to know all these years later and I was lucky to count her as a friend. Happy travels dear lady, you will be missed by all your poker buddies and numerous friends. To your family, I offer my deepest sympathy for such a dear loss.
Prayers and condolences to the family. I knew Donna from AT&T. She was a grand lady.
God Bless
