To the Tilden family -
I am so sorry to learn of Donna's passing. My father worked with Donna's father, Don, in the Weymouth Fire Department for many years. I have many great memories of the Tilden family visiting my family at Fresh Pond in Manomet or the Kelley's visiting the Tildens at their home in East Weymouth back when we were all kids. My prayers are with you all. Rest in peace, Donna.

To Donna's Husband and Family,

I had the great honor of knowing and working with Donna for over 20 years at MCB. She was a doll to know and work with - she was genius with computers and she saved me more times that I can remember!

I am sorry for your loss and I'll say a prayer for you and yours.

Nick : Donna was thrilled to be with you and enjoyed your keen sense of humor. Since she married, I noticed how Donna was more enthusiastic about life in general - even tho we all know the Donna was dealt a lousy medical history which affected her entire life from at least age 18 . She was a woman of simple faith- nurtured by the Community of Faith at Bethany. She loved Connie from Bethany Church so very, very much. Connie - you were there in thick and thin days.- She was genuinely delighted at the successes of her brothers, too. She never compared herself to anyone else - so she did not bemoan nor moan. She was SO proud of the length of service she had at MCB and really liked the people there as well as the various jobs she held. She would want you to know,Nick,how blessed she felt being with you. Joe
