Donna wanted everyone to know how proud she was of Michael, and to support his achievements. She shared that love by kindly being a ride for me, talking with me during the drive, where we reminisced about what we had in common: performing arts and being excited about the things he was doing. She could pull out a memory from his high school theatre debut as easily as last year’s concert. She encouraged me when I was nervous and radiated a very easy, frank, and warm attitude like it was her job. She was there to not miss a thing. I appreciate that day so much.
