    Family, my sincere condolences for your loss. Donna was a wonderful person. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Cecil and his girls dancing the night away. May she rest in peace.

    My deepest sympathy to all the family. I have many fond memories of our times at Pitts Grove (later riding the bus to Valley Star, and Glenwood), and being neighbors with Cecil, Rose and all the kids. May she rest in eternal peace.

    Jim and family. I got to know Donna through the Church and Jim. Donna was loving and kind. She loved God and her family. I grieve with you, yet rejoice that she is now in the presence of her heavenly Father
