Donna and I were together about 2 years. After that we remained close friends. If I had a problem I could call her and talk to her about any thing. We had very good times together. We met in the spring of 2005 through a mutual friend. I will never forget her. Love and hugs'

My condolences to Adrien,friends and Sisters.

Donna, you asked me to be your sister I didn;t think twice, I was your confident and best friend and you became my little sister with a special bond between us I am happy about that, I wish I had met you sooner in my life you are such a special person with a big heart, the people that didn't know you will never know such a unique person that you were. We had long conversations about everything we laughed and sometimes cried, I will miss your laughter and especially you. God now has an angel with a sparkle in her eyes.
Your special phrase: Whats up!!!

Forever in my heart, your sister Rose Sanchez-UMC

I've known Donna for about 13 years we use to work together at ACP.I just spoke with her a few days before her death and I was truly shocked and deeply sadden to her she was gone.
God needed another rose for his heavenly garden, so he picked her.I will hold her dear to my heart and I will miss her everyday.
