Peace and Blessings to the Family!
I've known Donna since we were in grade school. We both would come to Dalton for summer vacations to be spend with our grandparents, who lived next door to each other. Our sons are the best of friends. She, Rose and I worked together at Shaw, Plant WM. I was amazed when I watched her dance and her laughter could fill a room and become contagious. I feel so bad for Shannon and Sheronda, as my children also lost their mother to soon. I'm going to miss you, Donna. I pray that God will allow me to see dance again in his kingdom.
Our hearts and Prayers go out to each of you as you go through this difficult time in your lives, New Hope Baptist Church Usher Board- Velina Weaver
