Very sorry to hear this sad news. Mrs. O’Donnell was a very kind soul and always had a smile for the Grayson Boys.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that I got to know Lenore when she lived where I work at The Reserve. She made me laugh every day, and I loved sharing stories about our Tipton connection, and telling others about our town. She will be very missed.
Am so sorry for your loss, my prayers are with the whole family. We will always have our memories of the summers we spent together and all the fun we had. I remember the one summer we all went to Kings Island and it rain all morning but we still had fun.
At least she wont’ be alone, she’ll have her husband and her brothers & sisters, plus they all will be looking down on everyone and keeping us safe.
Love you guys
