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.

Tim-I was so very sorry to hear of the recent passing of your mom. I never had the privilege of meeting your mom, but based on your personal character, and integrity, she must have been one hell of a mother. Best to you, and your entire family.
Sincerely, Steve Frazier

To Paul, Janis
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.
