Please accept my condolences for the passing of this wonderful neighbor way back in Aurora Co. Back in the 50’s. Donna, I lived next door and thought the world of you Claude, Randy & beautiful Melony. As I read this obituary I could not help but respond. I am Marie Maxwell & live in Melbourne Florida.
It seems like yesterday. I will catch up with you for sure. I pray this reaches you, Donna in the best of health. So sad for your loss.
Fondly.Marie
