So sorry Tim, Jeanie, Michelle for the loss of your mother and sister. May she rest in eternal peace. God bless you all in this difficult time.
Sending thoughts and prayers to the Gregowicz and Marchand families. Donna was such a sweet, sweet lady. We were bowling teammates and school moms many years ago. Sorry I was unable to attend her services.

Donna (Bailey) Kohlberg told me of the loss of your sister.
It is hard to believe we are the older generation. We have been blessed so far with my brothers and sisters. We always say it was so fun growing up with so many. But so difficult now as we all get older:. Bless your entire family for your loss🙏 Mary Ann
Tim & family,
A Mother gives you life, love and forever support for her children. That doesn’t stop when she passes. She can bring a smile to you or warm your heart with just recalling a simple memory. That’s advice I was given, hope it helps you too.
God has another angel. I’m so sorry for your loss. Donna Was a wonderful kind caring woman.
