I was so sad to hear from an old friend, that Donna had left us so suddenly. I will never forget how much love glowed from her beautiful heart. Donna will be missed by all of us. And we will never forget her beautiful smile, and her great enthusiam for life even as a little girl. She always welcomed people into her life. Donna accepted every-one like they were family. People like Donna will never be forgotten.
May Donna's son know that his Mom was a beautiful person, with a beautiful golden heart.
Donna will be missed by all who had the good fortune to have known her in this life.
May the good Lord Bless Donna's son and family, and keep them safe. May God Bless You my friend, and may you Rest in Peace in the arms of the Angels.
