My good friend Donna passed away, in April of 2012--shortly before our 50th Reunion--we were planning on attending the reunion together, and that is one reason I ended up not attending myself....I remember her son Nils calling me in my car to tell me--and I was so shocked, I barely knew what to sayl. Although a couple of years before she told me she had been diagnosed with heart failure, she had been doing so well I thought she had overcome it with medicine and was back to normal. A few years ago Donna took a trip to the Holy land and was baptized in the Jorden River--it was one of the highlights in her life. I remember her fondly.

Donna was among the first of fellow students who befriended me as a transfer sophomore. I appreciate it.
