Heather & Bob...I am truly so sorry to hear of your loss. Donna was an amazing lady!! Whenever she came in for a visit, no matter what she was going through, she would still have a smile on her face. We joked around a lot to make light of the situation. Big hugs to you both & may she rest in peace. Heaven has gained another angel.

I am so very sorry for the family who cherished such a woman. Donna touched my life in such a way that made me a better person for knowing her. We may not have spent as much time together as one would like, but when we saw one another it was like I had just seen her yesterday. Her heart was so big, so strong and loved so many. I adored her strength, I loved her laugh, I considered her my friend for so many years. I can truly say I love her and will miss her dearly............
