RIP DONNA FLY HIGH . THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY
I am so very sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her and getting to know her during the years that our paths crossed at HCS. She loved her family so deeply and it took very little encouraging to start her talking about everyone, especially Dylan, since she knew I had been his 3rd grade teacher. I have missed her laugh and our chats since she left. Donna was a wonderful lady and I will remember her fondly. Please accept my sincere condolences.
With love to my sister and her family sorry Donna is at peace with her mother and God
