Gerald R. (Jerry) Chelgren and my wife Sue - Derby, KS To: Bob, Ardyce and Ronnie, and family. It is with sadness I learn of the home going of my oldest sister Dona. I can say without reservation that I am and was proud of Dona's life accomplishments. A tough act to follow, especially considering the very humble beginnings we shared as brothers and sisters. Further, a living example of setting her very own goals, desires and dreams and then living out each in her own special way and, usually to an outward strong influence on her immediate family and circle of friends. We, the family of Jerry and Sue Chelgren celebrated a special time of memory of my departed sister, at our residence in Derby, KS on Monday, September 6th. at 6pm.
