    Dear Sue. We are so sorry for your loss. Moms are such a precious gift. You showed such love and devotion. We have missed you on Herring Woods Way and hope to see you soon and give you lots of hugs!!

  5. Joni Westerberg says:

    Your mom Donna M. and my mom Donna M.Englund Gilbertson were childhood friends and classmates in the class of ’51 at school. They were always in contact with phone calls and cards. Your mom made my mom the most beautiful lap quilt for Christmas years ago. When I lost my mom this past March, I grabbed the quilt off her chair, because she used it everyday! I will cherish it on my first Xmas without my mom. I will always remember how much my mom loved receiving it from your mom. Take care and cherish every memory. It’s only been 5 months since my moms passing and I still miss her everyday!

    I am sending my condolences from the Rosener family. Donna was a very wonderful person and will be missed.
