Jimmy and family I am so very sorry for your loss. It isn't easy losing such a sweet kind woman, and I know your hearts are breaking. I am holding you all up in my thoughts and prayers. Love you Jimmy I am just so sad for you! Cherish all the memories you and Donna made over the years they will help you, and even though she isn't here with you know she surrounds you with her love. I wish there was something I could say to make the hurt and sadness go away, but I know there isn't. You have Paul and my deepest sincere sympathies.
