Update ...
I
had planned to write this for Saturday. That is when the funeral for my cousin Donna will happen in Indiana. But, I am hurting now, and writing
will help release the pressure cooker. We were five cousins. Katha,
Donna, Nancy, me, and Martha, by age.

Martha, Nancy and Donna, 2017
|
Donna,
Nancy and Martha are sisters, as close as any sisters can be. I envied
that, their love for each other was palpable. Donna was tall,
strong, and always caring, smiling and organized.

All
three sisters were married at 22 after they finished college. I was at
Donna's wedding in 1959 and cried like a baby, it was so beautiful.
Donna and Bob were high school sweethearts, and married for 61 years.
Always together, trips, visits and delivering meals on wheels.

2017 |
Donna had been a terrific first grade teacher and had a proclivity for
lists and organization. WonderWoman said just yesterday, "Aunt Donna is
busy organizing heaven" and she is surely right. Always smiling that
great smile.
Donna
truly cared for everyone and went out of her way to help others. She
will be greatly missed. I pray for heartbroken husband, Bob. Also,
daughter Sheryl and son Scott. And the grandchildren, Justin, Donovan,
Jayden, Julia, Masin, Lucy, Nick and Joe. Donna was looking forward to the end of Covid and being able to go to a show and pizza with her granddaughters.
I love you Donna, we are so much less without you.
