A fond memory I have of your Mom was when she worked at the grocery store. Always loved her goulash and on her last day I said to her I didn't know what I would do now that I couldn't buy it anymore. A few days later we were eating supper and a knock came and it was your Mom with a huge pan of her goulash. We ate the whole pan that night. Also went on bus trip with her and had a blast. We finally went to our room at 4 in morning. She was a sweet lady. Rest in peace Donna.

Melody and family, Sincere sympathy is extended to all of you. Your mom was one of the friendliest people in Monticello. Whether I saw her at school, at Gempeler's, at a craft fair, or on the street, she always had time to talk. She was so pleasant. No matter how old we get, it is difficult to lose our mother. Sincerely, Harriet Wells
