From Tracy Bernier
I met Donna at CWU in Ellensburg. Many shenanigans and a little studying, too. Her eyes and smile would light up a room. Donna was exactly 7 days older than me. I enjoyed pointing that out to her each birthday. The last time I met with Donna was at a restaurant in Lynden. And there was pie! We must have talked for 2 plus hours after finishing lunch. Heaven surely gained an angel from Earth. Happy 58th in Heaven, Donna. ❤️
