Dear Charlie, Charles, Allie, and Imperi family, I know what a rough time this is for all of you. I hope that all the entries in this guest book bring a smile to your face. So many people thought so much of Donna and she brought a smile to all of them besides being a good friend to everyone. The verse I am writing helped me through some difficult times so I pass it on to you.

Down a road that's calm and peaceful, guided by God's loving hand, she has gone upon a journey to a brighter, distant land. Although your heart is heavy with the sorrow you must bear, may it always help to comfort knowing she is happy there.
You will have your own angel looking down on you.
Please never hesitate to call Marty or I it you need a shoulder.

October 27, 2008

Dear Charlie, Charles and Ali
Where do I begin. There are so many parts of my life that have memories of Donna and the family - all the Imperi's too. I am glad to have them and always in a part of my heart. I just found out on Sunday about Donna. I still cannot believe what I was told. I always pictured that Donna, Patty and I would be one of those groups of little old ladies making trip plans and lunches together. All the things we had to put aside due to the other cares we had in our lives. Infact, Donna and I had even spoke about our senior lives when Charlie and Donna stopped at the house recently. Please accept my sympathies and know that Gary and I and the children have you all in our thoughts and pray that you will have strength to get through the days ahead.
Love to all of you
Gary, Donna Marie, Daniella, Gary Jr and Vanessa Raimondo

Most of us at MUA (Main Urology) have already begun the difficult task of trying to think about all of the JOY and not ONLY the sadness we all are experiencing. Donna was a great bright light who made all of laugh and now all of us cry. And as my deceased Dad always said this is god's way of helping us with our grief. Donna will be remembered as a great friend especialy to me. All of you are in my prayers and in my heart,keep in contact and remember that we are always thinking of you. MARY & RON

For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.

That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen

Dearest Uncle Al, Charlie, Pattiann, Tony, Charlie Jr & Alli, We were so sorry to hear about Donna's passing. She will be greatly missed. I look for her IBDONNER e-mails as a connection to my life and my family in Buffalo. Sharing pictures of the kids and how they have grown. Now My grandchildren. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Your hearts must be heavy with grief . I pray that time and distance ease your sorrow and leave only the memories of the fantastic person that she was. She really could do it all and never complained. And laugh what a sense of humor she had. It was always a good time when you saw Donna. Always a laugh with her smart wit and that smile was contagious. God Bless her and keep her until we are all together again. Love Ophie, Randy & family

And you’re looking for strength from above.

Donna:
I cannot begin to tell you how much I will miss you. I had the opportunity to meet a very special person 16 years ago in you. You had a "heart of gold" and touched my life in many ways. You have seen me through many tragedies and losses these last five years and you always took the time to listen to me and give me advice or just a shoulder to cry on and vent. We shared laughter and pain but most of all friendship that I will always treasure. You will have a special place in my heart as you have touched so many with yours.

Love and Kisses, Lizzie

Donna boo - life will never be the same without you. If it were not for you I might not be here today. You touched so many lives of people. You were the perfect role model. You listened a lot. You could clean, cook, bake, shop, drive here and there, have a cup of coffee, make time for lunch with friends, clean a water filled basement, and still work and send a kind email at any hour of the night and do it all in one day. what a multi tasker. Life will not be the same without you but I am greatful for the blessing of time I had with you. Your baby sister I wish you peace and hope you are playing the slots with mom and AL. If not throw a win our way. I will think of you with every flower I see. I will think of you with every pot of spaghetti sauce I make and Italian cookie I bake. How you nursed me to health and reassured me when I was down. I would not be here if it was not for you looking after me. Rest in peace my sissy. until we meet again thank you for blessing my life while you were here.

Pattiann Imperi

Donna
My big sister, my friend, my nurse, my other mother my confidant and best role model. You touched so many lives. You took such good care of our family especially me the last few years. I am sure I gave you a couple gray hairs.
You could always be counted on to help someone -somewhere at anytime. Your sense of humor made many laugh through life's ups and downs. I cannot imagine a holiday without you. Your cookies, sauce, lasagna, ravs gardoons. You could multitask: cook, bake, sew, shop, stop for a cup of coffee, meet for lunch, make another pot of sauce for dinner, plant some flowers and clean water from a basement flood, drive someone to or from somewhere , watcha hockey game all in one day and never complain and still work till all hours and manage to send a cheery email. I do not know how you did what you did.
You were a great mother, wife, sister and daughter. I don't know what I will do with out you in my life.
Hope you are playing the slots above with mom and brother Al. Keep watch over all of us. We will keep you in our hearts and minds.
Charlie, Ali and Charles my heart goes out to each of you. Be Strong! I will always love you Sissy, thank you for being such a big part of my life. Without you I do not think I would be here today.
