My dear sweet friend Donna...I miss you so much. You have been so magical with so many people. I refuse to refer to you in the past tense, because if it is at all possible for a person's soul to be alive forever in the universe, I KNOW that you have figured it out, and are somewhere out there now traveling around and having a great time. I can just see you looking around you with your whole face in a big smile, and can hear you saying "Oh, WOW!" There are many, many people who love you and miss you--it was an honor for me to be your friend, and I am grateful for the ways you changed my life. We are all better having known you, and the world clearly needed you. Don't worry about little Roxie--I am taking good care of her for you. She is doing fine, and I can see why you loved the little goofball. I am sure she wonders where you are, but she is happy and healthy. Your boys are very, very sad--there are a lot of people around them who are loving and supporting them, and I know you are watching out for them, and always will. They are in good hands, and we are all helping them as much as we can. That's all for now--I will be talking to you best friend--Julie

Friends Forever



I am so blessed to have known and worked with for 15 years at Southlake Mental Health my friend Donna.



Through the good times, the stormy days she was always there to see me through, with a smile, laughter, decorations and positive words of encouragement; giving hugs and

holding my hand, us together side by side. What more could I ask than to have her as my friend.



Friends are like angels without any wings,blessing our lives with the most precious things.



I thank you Lord, for my Angel and friend
