Posted at 20:31h, 27 JuneAnyone who knows me knows that Miss DOAN and I were special friends. I will always cherish the memories of all the good times we had together. Due to her living in Lancaster, we didn’t get to see each as often as we wished. However, we kept in touch almost daily.. What a great friend to everyone who knew her!
