Unfortunately, you picked the wrong witness.  This is the same Patricia Ann Donaldson who said that there was a pause after the first shot and the last two shots were fired rapidly "bam bam", as we see in the Youtube clip:
She describes the very short time the last two shots. So Donaldson must be mistaken about the placement of the President at the time of the first shot because the time between the last two shots that she describes does not permit JFK to have been hit in the neck by the second shot.

But Donaldson's mistake about the car location is understandable because she is mistaken about where she was standing.   Patricia Ann Donaldson, known by "Ann" worked at the Dallas Morning News and was standing with Mary Woodward just to the west of the lamp post as shown in the Roberdeau map:


and as noted by Woodward in her DMN story written a few hours later: "Four of us from Women's News, Maggie Brown, Aurelia Alonzo, my roommate Ann Donaldson, and myself had decided to spend our lunch hour by going to see the President. ... The President was looking straight ahead and we were afraid we would not get to see his face. But we started clapping and cheering and both he and Mrs. Kennedy turned, and smiled and waved, directly at us, it seemed. .... [after talking about the second shot she says:] "This was followed rapidly by another shot."

i didn't present Patricia Ann Donaldson as an endorsement of her account. I presented her as an example of a witness who gave an account that conflicts with your pet theory that the first shot was fired at Z193. Your willingness to accept her description of the spacing of the shots but not her account of where the limo was when the first shot was fired shows a clear confirmation bias on your part. You will only accept the things she said that agrees with your beliefs. I don't think she got either right.
