Donna will be dearly missed. I loved her smile, sense of humor, but most of all she was a dear friend. We worked together in surgery for many years, and always shared our animal stories. I am so sorry for your loss.

You all are in my prayers. Donna & I spent many years working together in surgery, staying on call so much of the time w/ Roberta Riddle & Kathy Smith. The four of us were always swapping off w/ each other for convenience sake. I will always fondly remember & love her. May God richly bless all of you.
Love, Sarah Denton

I worked with Donna for a lot of years at the hospital. She was a good and generous person. She was a wonderful friend and we spent many hours together talking over problems and just talking in general.
Sorry for your loss, and hope you can find peace in knowing she is no longer suffering.
Love to all Judy Blevins
