I have fond memories of Donna Ree growing up. Back in the day several townships and communities had girl soft ball teams. Donna Ree could knock the cover off a softball. She was strong and mighty in physical strength. Perhaps her latest display of strength occured by developing faith, while encouraging others during her illness. Well done thou good and faithful servant...take your walk around home plate and rejoice for you are a winner! Sending prayers and love to all her family.
To the family. My prayers and condolences. Donna was an good old friend of the past. I am sure she will be truly missed, but let the love of Jesus comfort you with joy in the days to come. Fred Darby Folks Hill, NC
