DONNA'S MOTHER HAS THE POWER TO READ CARDS. SHE
READ CARDS FOR A FRIEND ONCE AND PREDICTED THAT
BOTH HER PARENTS WOULD DIE SOON. EVERYONE KNEW
HER FATHER WOULD DIE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN ILL, BUT
THE MOTHER WAS HEALTHY. THE FATHER DIED WITHIN
TWO DAYS. THE MOTHER WAS REACHING UP INTO THE
CUPBOARD ONE WEEK LATER AND FELL BACK ONTO A POLE
WHICH WENT THROUGH HER AND KILLED HER INSTANTLY.
AFTER MRS. LALLY PREDICTED THIS, SHE REFUSES
TO READ CARDS FOR ANYONE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS COMES
TRUE.
