UDELL & TIFFANY AARON

We truly were blessed to know Donna. She has been an angel to our daughter while on earth and we know she will continue to be so now that she has passed. Her spirit was honest and loving, and it was undeniable that she loved her family with all she had. To witness the love and care she poured into Ella and Matthew while finding room for our Britney was beautiful to witness. We are saddled by her untimely departure but so grateful a woman with her grace and kindness existed.
