Oh Linda, life seems to have it's ups and downs. One year we are all celebrating at our class reunion (where I had not seen you in 40 years), and a year later, you must be deeply saddened by your mothers passing (which I just read about).
Although I never formally met your mother, I do know that she was a very good woman to have raised such fine children.
If memory serves me correctly, even though I did not have any classes with your siblings, I remember Donna and Steve to be kind, respectful and fun.
And as I recall, from our grade school and high school days you were very conscientious, respectful, kind, extremely smart, sweet and lovely, which must have been qualities of your mother too.
My Sincerest Sympathy for you and your family.

Your mom sounds like a lady after my own heart! I like all the same things she did! She must have been special to have raised a great gal like you, Donna! I know she will be missed by all your family. God bless you and give you peace!
