This angel pin was designed in loving memory of Donna Zander.   Donna was like a second mother-in-law to me and I hold her very dear to my heart.  She was my mother-in-laws best friend for life.  Donna and her family were invited to every family event we ever had and we very much considered her family.  Donna had a long battle with cancer, starting with cancer of the uterus, spreading to her colon and her breasts.  Donna helped me when I had a small craft and collectible store in Tomball.  She loved to sew and her Santa Clause pins were everyone's favorite.  I have about 5 of them.  She had some of the cutest patterns and really loved crafting, especially sewing.  She could grow anything and had the most fabulous gardens at her house.  She loved all living creatures.  I remember one time, we cut a tree down and there was a squirrel nest inside, full of babies.  Donna helped me find a place that would take the babies and nurse them until they were old enough to survive on their own.  Donna flew home to heaven last month.  We know that she feels no more pain and we know that she knows how much we loved her.  We will miss her terribly, but we are so glad to have had a real relationship with her and will always be blessed by what she gave of herself.
