The family would like to thank the relatives and friends who supported Donna through her difficult journey with cancer, including the many Madison, Stevens Point, and Marshfield area doctors, nurses, and aides who guided her care, and especially the House of the Dove staff who lovingly and compassionately provided for her final needs.
