I worked with Dona at EF MacDonald and I have many wonderful memories of her. She was a dedicated worker and always had a smile on her face. I later got to know her family and enjoyed celebrating with them during the Christmas holidays by going out to dinner She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all that new her. Rest in peace.
