Dear loved ones of Donna - What a peach of a girl and so much fun! Cousin Ken Blake relayed sad news. She was a high school chum and my roommate on Washington trip in 1956. Your Dad, Donna myself and date doubled to a couple of dances. So very sorry to hear of your loss.

Offering my deepest condolences during this most difficult time.
I didn't know your mother, but I was a friend of your Dad in the media biz - he always seemed happy and grounded...I'll give that accomplishment to your mother.

I lost my own mother a few weeks ago and know what you are feeling and experiencing. It will get better, but the next few days will become a blur. And, expect waves of sadness.

Dear Ed, Bob, Jenny: At this sad time, may you know that my many
understanding thoughts are there
with you. Your mother was a kind, wonderful woman, very thoughtful,
friendly and with a fun-loving personality. May you long cherish
the memories you had together and
cherish them as you celebrate her life. With Sympathy,
Jack Jeneson

Dear Ed, Bob and Peggy, Jennifer,

All the Panfils join me in sending our deepest condolences in the loss of your Mom. Ken and I so enjoyed the fun times tailgating with your Mom and Dad - Your Mom was like a little China Doll, so sweet, cute and perky, and just a sweetheart to be with - you were all so blessed to have her for your Mom. I still have and use with frequency the recipe for meatballs that your Mom shared with me after one of the first Purdue games where we got to know them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you search for a new normal without "MOM"!

Warmly, and with our deepest sympathy,

Elaine Panfil
