To the Kuhlmann and Jochheim Famlies -

Growing up two doors down from Donna, I knew her growing up. She was a very kind and sweet person. I remember that we used to "hang out" on our block as a large group - we used to call ourselves the "gang", when that was not a negative term. It really was two groups, the guys and the girls. I still remember for my 13th birthday, Donna and the rest of the girls took a poster board and made me birthday card with it. I was very touched by this and still have that card today.

Over the years, I am sorry to say that I have lost touch with most of the gang. I know that Donna is in a better place, but she has been taken from this world much too soon.

Our prayers are with your families at this very difficult time.

Randy and Carolyn England & family

John and I are so sorry about the loss of your daughter Donna. It is always a tragedy to lose a child but when there are children and a husband involved it is so much more difficult.

Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.
