My deepest condolences to Ben, Mike and Deanna. I’ve known the Velners for about 10 yrs. When I worked for Ben & Mike in the shop, on our breaks we would go and sit in the house, Donna always had fresh baked treats for us. Donna was one of the nicest people you would want to meet. She will truly be missed by the ones that knew her.
Our most heartfelt condolences for your loss. May the Almighty God be your strength and comfort through this difficult time (Jeremiah 16:19).
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
Dawn
