I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother and wife. I absolutely loved her and I knew whenever she would ask about how I was doing she was truly interested . Her love for all of us Baseball moms showed every weekend she was there . She will forever hold a spot in my heart and I feel blessed to have gotten to know her . God truly gained and Angel Shannon Spence

Donna and I grew up next door to each other and were in the same Class of 1965 at Avon. Growing up my siblings, Dinah and Sonny, and I had so many adventures with her; playing in the creek, driving the “bus”, wandering in the woods, eating her Aunt Mamie’s fried bologna sandwiches and many others. I regret that life got in the way and we didn’t maintain that level of friendship as we got older. My sympathies go to Rocky, Aimee, Kimmer and the rest of the family. May you find peace in your memories of a very special woman.
