Victor and Girls, you don't know me, but I use to work with Donna in Elliots Office. All she talked about was all of you. She loved you all. I am so sorry to hear about Donna. I wanted to make it to the service, but my dads service was on the same night. She is with her mom now and looking down at all of you. She was a wonderful kind hearted person and will never be forgotten.

Dear Vic
In times such as these one does not know what to say...I will always remember the joy and love the two of you shared. Being honored and privileged to be present to witness your wedding vows in Florida, Lee and I could only think at that time, that finally true happiness has come for both of you. To have that cut short is a tragedy no one should have to endure. Rest assured that although it is not the same, you are not alone in your pain, as we all share in your loss and suffering. You and Donna have touched the hearts of a legion of your friends over the years with your love, compassion and friendship and today you are both in our thoughts and prayers. Our love,

Ron Krupinski

Victor and all the Cipriano/Branca family members:

Donna was my friend and inspiration for the 2 years that I have known her.

Our connection grew from being BRCA 1 breast cancer survivors. Even though she joined the breast cancer group after me, I felt she was my pillar, having forged the road before me. She always lit up a room with her quick wit and vibrant smile.

I am blessed for having had the chance to call Donna my friend. My thoughts are with you all.

Nancy Pierce

October 27, 2008

To the Cipriano and Branca families...my thoughts are with you all at this time of sadness. I don't think I'd seen Donna since she was a toddler, probably at one of the big birthday parties for my grandfather, Hiram Kimball. I remember Irene and the picture of Donna reminds me of her. My mother, Winnie, and I visited with Arlene when she was sick and she was such a beautiful inspiration. Everyone has written such lovely things about Donna...I know her mother's strength and beauty shone through her, too. You were blessed to have her in your lives.

Dear Victor, Erica, Amanda, Dominique, Victoria, & Katie, & The Branca Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I know how much you all loved & cared for her & her for you. To see how all of you glowed when you all were together was simply amazing. It's heart wrenching losing someone you love so much, especially at such a young age. Try to remember all the good times you had with her as I'm sure she would want you to. Even though I only met Donna a hand full of times I could tell what a sweetheart she was & how much she loved & cared for all of you. Just know that Sue & I, as I'm sure as many others, feel the same pain & hurt you all do during this difficult time, & we pray that all of you will find the strength to get through this difficult time.
Love you all,
Hoppy & Sue Hoskin

What a great time we had with you guys in Florida. The laughs, the beach, the party by the pool, and of course the chocolate pizza in "Room 4". What a great person she was. She will be sadly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love Frank, Cheri & Carol
