Rest in peace Donnamae, and sorrows for Eugene. What a childhood we had at the Orphanage. You both were memorable kids which one can never forget.
Prayers and condolences from Starinskis family.
Our deepest sympathy to all of you. You helped Donna so much over the years to remain home. She is blessed to have all of you. Our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.

Donna always had a smile, a listening ear, and a story to share. She was a great storyteller and loved talking about her family. May she rest peacefully in God’s loving arms.
