Tasty temptations created with love in local kitchens are commanding strong bidding from friends, family and supporters of Donna Isaacs of Hitchins, who is being treated for cancer found in her brain.
Donna Isaacs was an employee of First National Bank of Grayson for more than 20 years.
"She worked right up until the week she was diagnosed," said family member Whitley Kouns.
A wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Isaacs was also a Sunday school teacher at Hitchins Wesleyan church for 35 years. She was diagnosed September 19, 2019 with Stage 4 melanoma of the brain.
"One tumor was removed and one in back of the brain that was non-operable. They are still looking for the primary source of the cancer. She will be having surgery in two weeks on three nodules on her leg to see if they are also cancerous. She will start radiation treatment October 28th."
