Donna Jean will be missed by all of us.
I will always remember how wonderful she
was to our parents as their daughter-in-
law. I am sure they welcomed her home
with open arms last week! Thanks for all
the beautiful memories, Donna Jean, and
for being the wonderful sister-in-law
& friend that you were to me. I'm so
glad you are out of your suffering now.
You were one of the bravest women I know, & a wonderful wife to my only
brother!!

It is hard to sum up in a few words what Aunt Donna meant to her family and friends. She was a wonderful women who had such a positive attitude and was a fighter to the end. We are so sad you are gone, but we rejoice knowing that you are no longer in pain and have been reunited with Grandma, Grandpa and Dad. We love you and will miss you always~~

I remember so many childhood memories with Donna and then later Donna and Terry. Trips to Donna's mom-riding my first little motor bike and then trips to Colorado to spend time with Donna and Terry! Donna's friendship with my mom was special and taught me how close friendships can be and how friends can be there for each other. Thinking about you Terry and your family.

Wow..I was looking for someone else's name for my father, and when I saw this name I wondered if it could be her, and indeed it was...my 8th grade Math teacher from Highland West Middle School in Moore. I actually got to teach her class for a day as an honor student back then..the year was 1983. God bless you family...I'm a witness as to how hard it is to lose a mother..May God bless and comfort you during this time.
