Donna - Five years have passed since you left us, but this poem makes me think of you and reminds me that God loves you too and he is taking care of you now -

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, “Come to me”.
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

Rick and I miss you every day and cherish the memories we shared with you.

Love your sister Marcia, and Rick

Donna - It is hard to believe that four years have passed since you left us. You are truly missed each and every day. I truly miss talking to you on my way home from work and there is not one day that goes by that I don't remember those days. I know you are in a beautiful place with your beloved Tracy, Bear and Harley. Love your sister, Marcia, and Rick.

Our Angel Donna, It's been 4 years since you have left us. We think about you all the time and cherish our loving memories of you. This time of year is always hard for us during the holidays. We especially miss the special way you would decorate your front door and home always winning an award each year. We know you are playing with your dogs and cats up in heaven. We love you and miss you very much.

I love this photo of Donna. It reminds me of our youth and how much fun we had together. She had a kind spirit and was a great friend. I feel honored to have had her as my friend.
