Love and Hugs to you LaDonna !
So sorry for your loss! You are all in our thoughts and prayers!
Love and Hugs to you, LaDonna and family. Alwilda was one of a kind!
To LaDonna and the family of Alwilda, I am saddened at her passing but I feel peace at the sustained faith in God that she had over the decades of her life. She made her mark in nursing. I’m sure there are many students who benefited from her classes. May her memory be a blessing to those who knew her. Peace and love, Kathy Lord
I cannot miss the chance to wish my greatest sympathy and love to dear, kind Ladonna and the family and friends of Alwilda. As her classmate and friend, I recently learned of her passing last fall. Alwilda was a person of many endeavors and she was a blessing to many also. I lost track of you and Alwilda for a long time and did not know you had moved back to Ohio until sometime last year. I’m glad for you and her to have been with family members there during this difficult time. I hope we can be in touch soon. God bless all of you as I’m sure you all have wonderful memories of Alwilda and you can find comfort from them. With Love and Prayers.
I just discovered that Alwilda had passed away some time ago and am so sorry that I hadn’t known sooner. I’m also sorry that we had not been in touch for a number of years. I knew her as a still young woman, a ‘returning’ student, when I was an undergraduate at ASU and we both were involved with the Anglican Canterbury group there. She was a wonderful person in so many ways that I can’t enumerate them here. Rest in pace. And condolences to her sister, brother, and extended family.
