I was one year older than Donna and we were in band together. We always had a great time in band! Many fond memories! My sympathy to her family at this sad time.

Dear Knesting Family. We send our sincerest regrets and sympathy for this great loss. I regret that I did not know Donna very well and seldom saw her in recent years. It is good that she can be brought back to the Family cemetary in Boscobel. Our love and prayers to Bernard, Sandy, Paul, Patricia, and Nancy.
Donald and Kay Schoellig

Donna and I were best friends from middle school through college. We parted ways over a silly argument that seems so petty in retrospect. I have many, many happy memories of our time together. I do cat rescue, too, and I wish we could have gotten together and traded stories.
