To the family of Donna, I am so saddened to hear this. I met Donna at work when she worked at NYS Division of Professional Licensing back in year 2000 or so. As soon as I met her I liked her personality and we were friends. I remember she invited me to spend time with her and family when she lived up near Clifton Park. I had a great time and she always made me feel comfortable and welcome. She is the sweetest person and I will miss her. To her parents, siblings, children and grandchildren you are truly blessed to have such a beautiful person in your life. My prayers are with you.
