A little over a year ago, the world lost a wonderful woman - Dan's mom, Donna. I was blessed to know her for a few months before pancreatic cancer took her from us, and I miss her very much. Donna made everyone who knew her feel special and loved - almost instantly! Shortly after I moved to Minnesota, Donna invited me to spend the weekend with her while Dan was at drill - she had found out that my birthday was coming up and didn't want me to spend it alone. I will always treasure my memories from that weekend and the other opportunities I had to spend time with her.
After we found out she was sick, Mike (Dan's brother) recorded her telling one of my favorite stories from Dan's childhood. I wanted to share the video here so that those of us who knew her could remember her together.
