I'd like to share a memory also of Donna's dedication to volunteering at the Bardavon in Poughkeepsie, NY. She had put her stamp on taking over the balcony for whatever performance that was there. I say this in jest because that would be one of the first things she would mention to me when I stepped foot into the door when I also volunteered there. It was all in fun of course and we had a great many a laugh over it. I know she was dearly missed when she could no longer make her presence be known there.
And before I forget there is yet another memory that is to this day still hanging in one of my bedroom closets. Donna was an excellent seamstress as most everyone knows and took on the task (but one of love) for making the dresses for the wedding party of her son Philip and daughter-in-law Alycia's beautiful wedding day. One is mine and that of my daughter Robyn(Alycia's goddaughter), who was the flower girl for the occasion. We were honored and excited to be part of their day and to wear such beautifully made dresses. I look forward to someday handing down both dresses to our granddaughter Reese, who will look equally stunning in them.
My heartfelt condolences to Donna's sons and family and all that will miss her dearly.
