    I am so sorry for your loss.
    It was such a treat to go to sleep overs and have Donna taking care of us.
    All the Cromley boys are wonderful people and it is an honor to be friends with them.
    I know Jason, Justin and I had some crazy times together.
    All of you will be in my family’s prayers to help provide peace, strength and comfort.

    Bob. My prayers and blessings go out to you and the family. I shut my eyes and see the beautiful blonde I remember from our high school years….I’m going to miss our visits at the store.

    Donna was my first teacher in the florist business. I started out as her delivery girl after school. What a talented designer she was. She could have taught Martha Stewart a thing or two. I owe my love of flowers and designing to her. I’m so grateful that
    I can carry on her legacy in Carrollton. I will love her forever.
