    Dear Sis, I can’t begin to tell you just how much we all miss you, and love you. You were one of a kind,Your own person,And nobody told you what to do. I can still see your smile when I close my eyes. You will always be with me in my heart. The one thing that will help keep me going is that one day I know that I will see my big sister again. I know that you are at peace,And with God right now. I guess he needed another angel. One thing is for sure Sis, And that is no one will ever come close to filling your shoes as a Mother,Grandmother,Daughter,Sister,Aunt,Neice,Cousin,Or Freind. You were unique,And you left this world way too soon. So until we meet again, and I know we will Donna I want you to know that I will always be thinking of you,And looking forward to seeing you again. God bless you. Love Always Your Brother Donald James Hedge Jr. (Bub)

    LaDonna, Or to me You are my baby Dee.. let me frist say I will miss you, but you are now with our Lord,
    Grandma Ivy,
    Grandma Marie,
    Your Dad,
    Penny,
    Butch,and all you loved that passed on.

    At your service a prayer was said, I’m sorry but the way it was said God did not want.
    He said no one shill Add or Take away from the Bible..
    So I am gong to say it to you now.. I’m so sorry that happen

    Psalm 23

    The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
    He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
    for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
    Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the lord for ever…
    Amen:

    I was so blessed to be your Aunt Chris…

    Donna, I only knew you for a little while, but will remember you forever. You were one of the cuttiest babies i ever saw, and grew into a beautiful women. I see by your childrens writtings that you were also a wounderful mother, good for you. I know your family will miss you very much. My heart goes out to you Ivy, I can not even imagin how you must feel. I am so sorry. Donna, I am still sing the song you wrote for me. I will wake up in the morning with a new day a dawning cause I know some body loves me and Iam going to go to heaven, I don’t know how Iam going to get there but I know I am going to get there,cause I know
    god really loves me. Donna, was 8, when she wrote this. What faith,for a child. I tried to call you when I was in Chicago, but could not find a number. I wish I could had seen you and your family. I know they will miss you dearly. I loved the pictures they were very sweet. With the help of God, and time the pain will soften not go away but you will be able to live with it. Now go out with the children find the brightest star and know that it is Donna, looking down on you. Shinning like a diamond. You can even talk to her. It is so good for the kids,
    With fondest memories
    Love Aunt Jeannie
