We were so saddened to hear of Donna's passing. She had become a good friend and supporter of our band over many years playing at The Taproom in Orleans. Always dressed smartly, always funny and positive. And always dancing. She was a pleasure to be around and we send all our sympathies and condolences to her family and friends.
A beautiful and classy woman, we will all miss her.
On behalf of The Start.
