Aunt Donna made the BEST chocolate sheet cake with chocolate frosting, from scratch I'm sure. Wonderful memories of birthdays, holidays and every time.

Aunt Donna was such a big part of our lives. I can't imagine what our childhood would have been like without her & Uncle Pete. LOTS of good memories. She will be missed.
