I will always hear Donna's laugh and see her mischievous smile and how her eyes lit up as she talked to me about all the things she was doing to help herself be the best she could. I knew this day would come, but then again, somehow I thought it wouldn't. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with all.
