A Note From Mrs. Donnell
May your blessings be many and may you share them with all that you encounter.
“Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, or he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Psalms 107: 8-9
Blessings,
Mrs. Donnell
