No public services will be held. If you would like to do something in honor of Donna, please plant an herb in your kitchen windowsill and think of her when you see the sun shine on it or you snip some for your meal.
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." - Philippians 4:8-9
