Dear Donna(Goldie),
You will be remembered for the enthusiasm you had for life and all the beauty around you.You had the interest, energy and talent to find joy in so many ways and you were very sharing of that joy to family, friends and co-workers. What an inspiratioon you were.
I think of the love you had for family(lots of parties for special occasions and gatherings),church....great Friday fish dinners,CATS,dogs(where's your mommy?),Flowers, THE BUCKEYES, travel, volunteering(The James.......in charge of special holiday parties for patients, visiters and staff),Chadwick Arboretum and Franklin Park Conservatory),eating out(especially with retired co-workers), attending festivals and special events around town and most things green (your favorite color).......wasn't your first car green?
Your explanation for staying up late was "I hate to give up the day".
I know your Journey will be special. Say hello to Lynn and Yankee Boy.
You will be missed.
Untill...........Love, M.M.

Donna shared her love of flowers with me when I visited Florida many years ago. When I see the beautiful red to purple blossoms of the bougainvillea I remember her and that trip.
