Keith,
What can I say that would make your pain go away.I just don't know the right words. We have been good friends for over 30 years and just wanted to let you know that if there is ANYTHING I could do for you and the girls just let me or Teri know.
I do believe that GOD has a plan for all of us and it is difficult for us to understand in those trying moments like now when we are put to the ultimate test.
Donna has gone to a better place and GOD WILL look after her.
From my family to yours our thoughts and prayers to all
