Diana and I can hardly still catch our breath since we read of Donalee's passing. And it seems like just a couple weeks ago that I talked with her at the reunion. She was a wonderful person and of course our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys.

Donalee was a great work partner, and a great example for parenting. One of her sons was involved in racing Minis, and she was oozing pride and motherly love. She will be missed and my thoughts are with your family.

Mike, Jeremy, and Myles and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your wife/mother is one of the most special people to have come into my life. She was a huge influence on my career and on me as a person, the latter being the most important. She gave so much of herself, and believed in other's potential. She is a huge inspiration. I'll miss her and always remember her. My thoughts and love go out to you.

Donalee and I carpooled together to Microsoft. During that time, I got to know a very special person who was alway ready to laugh and smile. We had such a good time getting to know each other during those long rides. She inspired me with her happiness and I considered her a special friend.
She often spoke of her love for her family and how proud she was of her boys. I know her loss leaves a hole in the hearts of many but what a wonderful and amazing person she was to touch our hearts the way she did.

I knew Donalee in high school, as we graduated in 1973. I have not spoke to her since then, but when someone from your graduating class passes away,there is a tug on your heart. Rest in peace. Sincerely, Carol Gjemso Owens
