What a great person she was. We umpired together for many many years. I'm sure she is sorely missed by many people. Rest in peace, my friend.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937703140365496768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-9781317572918665252009-04-03T11:38:00.000-05:002009-04-03T11:38:00.000-05:00Among a great deal of other things Donna was a sof...Among a great deal of other things Donna was a softball umpire for many years around Lincoln. My daughter played during that time.<BR/>At one of those more intense games in the heat of a summer day Donna had to make a very close call at second base that resulted in my daugher being called out. Said daughter jumped up and complained bitterly of Donna's "error" in judgement. Donna calmly walked over to her and quietly said to her, "when YOUR the umpire, you will have to make the right call even if your wrong." The look on my daughters face was priceless and I never did hear her complain about an umpire call again all the time she played in high school or college. <BR/><BR/>Donna knew how to get her message across even when the intended reciever did not intend to listen.<BR/><BR/>She was responsible for teaching a number of people life lessons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-14058813556143542202009-04-03T05:27:00.000-05:002009-04-03T05:27:00.000-05:00Thank you Chief for including this about Donna on ...Thank you Chief for including this about Donna on your blog.

Right away the nursing home wanted him and he refused. He has surpassed what the doctors have said. They said about twelve months to live. I think treating cancer makes it spred like wild. I guess this proves God chooses us and we dont choose God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
