Donna loved to have company, and always had the coffee pot on and some treat just out of the oven. One of her greatest joys was to have friends or family stop by. Donna was always doing things to help other people. She always had a loaf of homemade bread and a pot of homemade chicken soup ready to anyone who was sick.
