Jim and I had many great memories of Don and Donna. We always enjoyed our visits and Jim would forever be teasing Donna . He made fun of her tea parties with her fancy cups and saucers.Don just chuckled. Jim would get her so excited but I think she enjoyed it all.Now that they are together up in heaven I'm sure the good times continue. Here we miss them terribly and enjoy the wonderful memories we hold dear . Rest In Peace Donna Dorothy, Patty & Paul and kids John Paul & Cindy & kids and Stephen & Gail
