Kevin, Terry, family & friends: Please accept my sincerest condolences. Losing Donna at such a young age is such a lose for all of us. She was a breath of fresh air... her honesty, loyalty and laughter. Her smile lit up the room. She would do anything for anyone; if you were her friend - she made you feel like a million without even trying. She spoke often about Kevin, Rachel and their handsome & smart sons. I just loved being around her & Terry. So happy that she had found the love of her life! We always had so much fun together. And my heart goes out to Laurie, as well. Donna loved her and Laurie cared for her till the end. Hit the ground running, girl and be at peace. God Speed. I am going to miss you <3
