BL March 30, 2023, 2:51 pm I loved visiting with Donna when I'd run into her at Fareway in the produce aisle. :-) She and Don were clients of mine years ago, and they were both great to work with. I'll miss Donna especially. My sympathy to the family.
JaDB March 30, 2023, 9:42 pm We will miss Mrs. Martin so very much! She was a blessing to our family for many years. Often gifting our children Christmas presents and always passing treats from the Schwan's man our way. We love her dearly. Sending our deepest sympathy to her family.
