“Donna and family . . . our thoughts and prayers are with you all - during this difficult time. You welcomed Cheryl and I into Trace, and we've thoroughly enjoyed our neighborhood and experiences over these nearly 12 years! You guided us along, early on - forming what has become lasting friendships-n-memories with yourself, Jack, and so many of our South Landing friends. Jack will always be amongst our Pokeno Gypsy's Men's Night, and remember, Donna . . . we're just a phone call away. : )”
