Donna was about the sweetest person I've ever met. We worked together at Northrop. Just feel bad that I did not know she was sick or even that she passed. My heart is heavy!

My friendship with Donna was a short one (six years), but oh boy did we have a good time traveling with the band. We were the mamas and the papas; this is the name she gave us. I will always, always cherish our time together and I will truly miss you my friend. Love you and your wonderful talented son.

My condolences to your family, I didn't know Donna, but in reading her obituary I noticed one thing we had in common, my son is also a Kevin Eugene. Donna has a warm smile, may she rest in peace and may the memories of good times alway fill your hearts.
