Donna's unforgettable laugh and kindness will be missed by us and countless others. She was so generous, I remember when she gifted me her prized Elvis guitar clock. I did not want to take it but she was so happy to share. Our prayers are with you Sherman family.

I will greatly miss Aunt Donna for always talking to the kids and granddaughter. How fast she and the kids are growing up and talking about Elvis on and off.
Love,

I will miss the fun and the laughter of going to Mohegan Sun to gamble and Foxwoods hanging out with you and eating food with your smile. Always asked if you wanted to talk with Alexander.
With Love,
