So sorry to hear about the passing of my friend Donna. I didnot know or I would have attended her funeral. I always loved spending the night at Donna’s house. Loved her mom and dad and her sisters. I always thought her and Jimmy made A Beautiful Couple. I started dating and married Warren Mayes who was a neighbor to the Welch boys. In later years I worked with Mrs Welch at Energy Country. She was also A Beautiful Soul. Again, So sorry for the loss of Donna and prayers to all🙏💔
I’ve know jimmy since school days about late sixies, did meet Donna till they opened up video store in Nederland. But boy did my wife and I really love her. Always sweet with big smile. May she 🙏
She was the sweetest and a funny little lady!! May all the families hearts be at peace.
May God surround all of you with his angels to provide you peace and care.
Aunt Donna was so kind, sweet, honest, funny and it was just wonderful to be in her presence.
I pray that the family will bind together to make it through. Look to the Lord when it gets too hard.
I will miss my sweet Aunt Donna. I pray God gives her family and friends the comfort and guidance they will need, to endure this difficult time.
To the family of Donna you have my deepest sympathy. So shocked Donna had to leave us. Donna, was such a good neighbor to me for years. Charlotte Metreyeon
