Jane was always so precious and kind to me and those around I loved to hear her laugh she was such a loving person.
All those Walk women were such strong characters, filled with laughter and the widest of life experiences. Best thoughts to your families over Mrs Donohue's passing.

Dear Donohue family:
I wish to convey my sincerest condolences to your entire family. Losing a loved one in death is one of the hardest things that anyone will ever have to deal with. There is a great hope held out to us for the future because God promises to bring those we lost back to life by means of a resurrection to a paradise earth, where sickness and death will be no more. I hope this brief message will bring you a measure of comfort in this difficult time.
