Having grown up in East End, I've known Donnie Sue Reed my whole life. Donnie Sue was an "older girl" and I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world, later realizing that beauty was inside as well as outside. Lana, the loss of your sweet beautiful mother breaks my heart but we know she is joined with the band of angels we will all see one day. Prayers for God's peace in these most difficult days. You, your dad and Charley will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. We love you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May your Mom rest in peace.
Lana and family
You are in our prayers Your Mom was a very special person We all have a special angel watching over us
Love and Prayers

So sorry to hear about Donnie's death. She was a wonderful person whom I have known my entire life since I am also a native of East End. Our prayers go out to the entire family during this time of sorrow. She will be missed by us all but we can be assured she is now in a better place. God bless.
Lana, Charley, and Hubert we send our deepest sympathy over the loss of Donnie Sue. In the early years she was a 2nd Mama to me, and there are lots of fond memories that will never be forgotten. She was a sweet lady and will be in our hearts forever. I am so thankful she didn't have to suffer long, and she is in a wonderful place now. We will continue to pray for God to comfort and strengthen you. Love you all......Carolyn Sue and Merrell
