So hard to believe 10 years have passed. Although we weren't really close friends we did both work for many years at South Weymouth Naval Air Station and we shared a deep love for Elvis. No doubt he has been singing your favorite songs up there in heaven too. RIP always Donna and tell Elvis I hope to meet him one day too in the future.

I was so sorry to hear of your passing. You were way too young and I miss our many years working together at South Weymouth Navy base. We shared a mutual love for Elvis and I miss those talks. Rest in peace

I remember Donna for her big hats and big car. I will always regret not being in more contact with her. She told me once if I was going to Las Vegas or Memphis she would be happy to go. I wonder to this day what happened to the Elvis slot machine she said she found at a flea market in Florida. RIP Donna

Alan and Lela,
We were very sad to hear of Donna's passing. She was a wonderful neighbor and friend. I always enjoyed time hanging out with the ladies on our street, Donna and I took several trips down the cape in the summer to the flea markets and ALL the Christmas tree shops on the way !! I also remember one year, my son and I riding in the Christmas parade with her in the "red mustang".
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Donna, Eric and Eric Breckner

I am extremely saddened to hear of Donna's passing. We both worked many years at the Navy base. And although we did not work in the same department we were brought together by our mutual admiration for Elvis. We even thought one day we should go to Memphis together but that never happened. And I truly regret that now. We also shared a bond speaking of the disabled. My son is autistic and Donna spoke of a disabled neighbor who was always out riding his bike. Well Donna is with Elvis now and he is serenading her with all her favorite songs. Rest in peace Donna

Donna and I had a wonderful friendship - even though we were relatives! She had a marvelous sense of humor and always showed a beautiful smile to everyone around. And as we all know, she loved to travel - and usually behind the wheel of a huge Lincoln. Well she is now on a trip that we will all take at some point, and I hope it will be an easier commute up there....
I love you Donna and will continue to think often of you and all the fun we shared. Cousins Glenn and Marilyn

Donna, there will truly never be another person like you! I'll always treasure those memories spending time with you in Deerfield going to the Jewish delis, the Festival Flea Market, and the Swap Shop! You taught me to always get a good deal! Though I'm sad you're no longer with us, I'm glad you don't have to suffer anymore. You will always be in our memories!
Love,
Your cousin Steve and Aaron
