I am so sorry for your loss. Donna was a good friend of mine for over 50 years and a better friend I could not have found. I spent a lot of time at her Mom and Dad's house when I was growing up. We had so much fun there, having slumber parties and getting ready to go skating or whatever. I feel very blessed to have known her and been loved by her. I loved her very much and always will have good memories. Tracy, you are such a sweet girl and look so much like your Mom. May God Bless you and Loren. Love & Prayers, Donna Johnson

My father (Bob)spent the last 3 week of his life with Donna, taking care of her. He did enjoy the time spent with her and Loren.

Donna was a sweet person and I will always cherish the good moments we had going to the jazz festival and cook outs as a family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Steele family.
