Life is a story in volumes of three the past, the present, the yet to be. The first we’ve written and laid away, the second we’re reading every day. The third and last of the volumes three, is locked from sight – God keepeth the key.
Donna joins two of her other great grandchildren, Jared and Haden, in heaven. May she have each one in her lap and her beloved Beanie at her side.
