Donna

She is gone. She passed away today. I am relieved for her and for the family that has sat beside her and loved her while she fought so bravely the last two years. And I am so grieved to think of the lonely days ahead for her husband and kids, but I know they are comforted in that her battle is over and her suffering no more.

For myself, I am heartbroken to lose this woman who has been my second mother, my friend, my guide, my example in so many ways. She exemplified what I want to be as a mother and as a wife and as a friend and mostly as a Christian.
