Ann-Marie, Lisa & family, I am so very sorry to read about Donna’s passing. She was such a sweet young lady, and we always enjoyed talking to her when we came into TNT and she was working. It’s been a while since we saw her, due to her illness, but always have thought of her . May God be with all of you & comfort you in ways that only He can do. Blessings & Love,
Gloria & Billy
