So sorry loss, Donna and Ginny. God bless you and your families.
My sympathy goes out to two special ladies, Ginny and Donna! There are so many fond memories of the Meisetschlaeger family that I cherish from when we were neighbors years ago in Hitchcock!You were such a big part of our life then, and I will be forever grateful that we had that time together! God bless you and your families and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow and always!
