The world will miss a great person. Marti Sekula

I went to Our Lady of the Angels Academy with Donna. Her father Joe and my Dad Bob Foraker used to help out at the school. Donna was always happy and a joy to be around. I ran into her a few years ago at Barnes and Noble with one of her sons and you could tell he was her world. RIP Donna. Kim Foraker Irish Enfield, CT

Dear Becker-LeBlanc family's - so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts & prayers.
An Irish Funeral Prayer
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

To Andrew, Drew and Caleb, and the Becker and LeBlanc families,
Dennis, Ian and I are sorry beyond words for the loss of your dearest Donnna.
She and I became fast friends about 10 years ago. We shared many wonderful talks and outings together which always included our sons. Donna always had a beautiful, ready smile to share and that's what drew us together in the beginning. Just know her family was so important to her, and she loves each of you very much. Love never ends. Donna was very proud of Andrew, Drew and Caleb. Her sons were her world. Donna was a very sweet, caring, amazing, loving, strong woman with an incredible sense of humor. I loved her and will never forget her.... God's Blessings to Drew, Caleb, Andrew, my friend and her brother, Karl, and all of you at this very difficult time.
With Much Love,
Helen Moriarty
