Hello Justin — So sorry to hear about your Mother, Donna’s passing. We picked you up and took you along to church at Rohrerstown Mennonite when you were a young boy. I believe that we had met her a few times, when she went along with us to church. Please have our heartfelt sympathy and may you feel Jesus’ love surrounding you at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you… Dave & Dawn Weaver

My deepest condolences and prayers to Donna’s family. I had the pleasure of meeting Donna briefly in 1999, as she was the foster mother to my daughter, Desiree, before we were fortunate enough to adopt her into our family. I admired the heart that Donna had for children and appreciated the way she touched Desiree’s life. In His Love, Virginia Kissinger

I am so sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. When I saw her picture she looks so much like your mother. I lived next door on Ross St. We had many fun times together. Will keep you in my thoughts. Cheryl Metzger Thatcher
