I especially loved sharing books with Donna. We had a pleasant chemistry. She is special, very special. And I will miss her.
Donna became a good friend to me when she was at Heartis. Also Kim. I send my sympathy to you and the family.
You did so much to help her.
Donna was my favorite resident at Heartis Waco.
I feel terrible I left without saying goodbye.
