Uncle Bob you are more of a brother to me and Norman & Dawn. Donna was a lot of fun to be around, always smiling, laughing and cracking jokes. Dinna so liked when I would tease the both of you about having a niece older than you two. We had a lot if great times together when I lived in Maryland with everyone on the beach in Port Republic and wherever we were all together. Donna will be missed dearly and I know you will miss her the most…You to were really good for each other and I am so glad you had all the years you did with Donna. We all love you. All of the family is in our thoughts and prayers. Love your niece Debbie White
