I thank all of you for the condolences.
Donna and I were very close as I am less than two years older, went to same schools and had same interest, and always lived with in the same town as we grew up and started our famlies.
She developed lieukemia six years ago and went through a bone marrow transplant which I was the donor. It gave her some time but did not save her.
My thanks to Duke Bone Marrow Center and UVA hospital, for the kind and professional treatment of Donna.
