I'm deeply saddened and pray for Donna, Pete and her family. Having hired Donna at DTC, I came to know her not only as a valued employee, but as a true friend. Unfortuntely I received this news as I am vacationing in California but want to extend my deepest sympathies

I am so shocked and saddened by this news.
Donna and I worked together for years at Sanmina Corp. It was while working together that we became friends. Through the years working together we became better friends. She was a conscientious and valued co-worker. She would always stop by my cube to say hello, visit and often times she provided unsolicited updates on products that were being manufactured.
We lost touch for some time after each of us left Sanmina.
Over the last year or so, we found each other again after having lost touch for a few years. We exchanged email updates about our lives and pictures. She sent me such wonderful
heartfelt notes of encouragement. Although Donna was going through her own struggles, she always had time for others and she will be so dearly missed. She was always such a wonderful friend and person. I loved her dearly, and I will miss her dearly.
My heart goes out to you her family in this time!

I am so sad. Donna wrote me this note recently as we were sharing our struggles from the past year:
I found that my heart kept beating even though it was shattered in a million pieces because I kept hope in my heart.
I found that there was no way to get over heartbreak I had to go through it to be able to come out the other side. I had to do the impossible to learn a new normal. I came out on the other side stronger, yet more sensitive. and ... See Morelearned not to judge, learned everyone has a cross. some carry it silently and others not so much. No one is exempt from life. But we all need each other, sometimes just for a minute, an hour, a day a lifetime.
She was so inspirational to so many people. She will be so dearly missed.
