    Your mother was one of the most warm, sweet, and wonderful women that I have ever met. Donna always made me feel special when I was at your house seeing Sue when we were in junior high and high school. Sue, your love, support, and caring ways deeply touched and enriched Donna’s life.

    Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you mourn the loss of your wonderful mother.
