Guestbook
My deepest condolences for your loss. Donna was quite a fun lady. I was just in Minnesota and stayed in the same neighborhood that Donna lived in. I was going to walk over and visit with Donna and never saw her outside. I got to visit with her last summer and so enjoyed catching up with her. My son Jeremy Hoffman knew Donna also. She will be missed. Dance with the angles Donna.
