I remember Donna so full of life, she was in my Sunday school class many years ago at Calvary Baptist. It was at Christmas time and she drew my name she was so excited and I was so excited with my gift. She is surely running with the Lord now, she was an angel
I’m so sorry to learn of Donna’s passing. We went to church together at Calvary when I was a young child, and she attended Barren County High School when I was a student there. She was the sweetest and most gentle soul, and I can only smile when I think of her. My greatest sympathies go to her family, along with prayers for peace and comfort.
Connie, I remember sweet Donna from attending Calvary Baptist Church while growing up. She could brighten anyone’s day, just by seeing her smile and great affection for us all. I am so sorry for your loss, and know also that she is more happy in her Heavenly home than any of us on this earth. Prayers for you as you go through these difficult days. Vickie Norman Gaston
