I wrote this poem for you Donna, I am saddened by losing you my cousin:
It's hard to imagine
Just cannot comprehend
How a life far too early
Has come to an end
A beautiful heart
With the laugh of a child
Sweet memories of you
Can make everyone smile
You've been called up to heaven
And in God's arms you'll remain
And make friends with the Angels
They'll all know you by name

Jody, Trish, Linda and Joe, Words cannot express my shock to read of both Donna and Michael's passing. I will always remember that little girl who lived across the street, that freckled face, and firey red hair girl with the basketball under her arm, shooting hoops at Deerfield school next door. She was a special and sweet person who lit up the room with her smile. A true loss to everyone who knew her. My prayers go out to all of you.

I cant believe you & Mikey are gone! I'm angry & my heart is breaking at the same time. My friend for 28 years, then my family for 26 years - you & your family took me in when everyone else threw me away/gave up on me. Though some times were tough - mostly due to my immaturity, lack if trust, & anger issues, i loved you all & loved having a big sister. We lost touch for awhile, but you were still in my heart & thoughts. Thank you for being part of my life, I will miss you both terribly!

Donna, I am still in shock over losing you so suddenly. You were such a dear friend to me, and I will never forget all the good times we had. I can never thank you enough for all the help you gave to me when Destiny was born. The time and devotion you put into her was amazing, and will never be forgotten. She will always know her auntie Donna. I love you and miss you.
