You were the memory keeper, the final word, the level and just word on complex matters. We got as far as we did on the grounds of your caring wisdom. There is no one less likely to be called out at this time than you. The one best able to explain all this is gone. If there is another side to this river I genuinely pray I will see you once more on the other side. You are a great and dear friend of mine. Peace and love. David

Donna
I miss you so much. Your friendship for over the past 21 years has been one of my best. I will never forget the good times we had working at Cromwell Pharmacy. I will miss your cards, letters and our phone converstions. Your comparssion and wonderful nature has left such an impression upon me. Not one day goes by or will go by that I will not think of your great spirit and love of life. Love Always Debbie (Connecticut)

Among her co-workers Donna was known for her fabulous hugs. That simple caring gesture told us how much she truly cared. When the consequences of her disease no longer allowed us to see her, or talk with her, she remained in our thoughts and never did a day go by that one of us didn't mention her name. Donna will always remain in our hearts, tucked away with other loved ones whose stars shine bright in the heavens.

Donna you will really be missed by me and Debbie and all the girls who had a chance to not only be your co-worker but your friend also. I will never forget all the good times we had together and you were my rock. I witnessed you going through so much and you always kept a positive attitude no matter how much you were hurting. I think about you every day and always will.
