Sawyer Family my name is Marsha and I wanted to express my sincere condolences on your loss. At times like these I find the Scriptures to be a great source of comfort. 2 Cor 1:2-4. May God continue to be with your family.
So sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. She was not only a neighbor to my mom and dad, Jim and Joyce Wyatt, she was their friend. Before my dad moved out of the park Donna came by every day and dropped off her paper for him to read. She was always thinking about him and was such a special lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time of sadness.
A wonderful lady. So loving and we will miss her so much. There is a wonderful reunion in heaven right now.
