Gordy,
I am very sorry for your loss. The old Sully Plumbing & Heating softball days bring back fond memories of Donna and Korey. Your friendship is extremely important to me. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Our deepest condolences. Growing up, we lived down the highway from your family in Chariton. My sister, Patty was a good friend of Donna’s, and if I remember correctly, they may have been roommates in an apartment in Chariton after high school. LuAnn stood up with us in our wedding. My brother said he could remember riding the school bus with the Marnell girls.

I worked with Donna at Skiff Medical Center in Newton. She was by far the best HR director we ever had. She was fair and cared for each employee. She held high expectations for each of us. I have held her dear to my heart for many years. I am so sorry for your loss. I know she is at heavens gate and Jesus is holding his arms wide open.
