    My sympathy to the family. Donna was a classmate at Humboldt High School and I enjoyed getting her letters telling about her family. She will be missed. With our weather so unpredictable I doubt if I will be driving to Wahoo for the services since i would be coming alone. Sincerely Eunice Fass

    My sympathy to the family. I graduated with Donna from Humboldt High School in 1953 and always enjoyed seeing her when she was able to come to our class reunions. She was a sweet lady and many family and friends will miss her. It doesn’t sound like good weather the day of her funeral so I probably won’t be able to attend. Sincerely, Pat (Stalder) Jensen
