I was the given the opportunity to teach with Donna and become classroom "neighbors."; and I'm truly grateful for that opportunity. Donna was a very strong woman and teacher who never gave up, no matter the situation. I appreciated her hard work and learned a great deal from her. She will greatly be missed by students and teachers.

I didn't know Donna long as I was new last year at Jeter-Watson as well. She was very nice to me and I am so sorry I didn't get to know her better.

Donna was one of those incredible persons who was always positive and uplifting even on those inevitable days when things were going a bit rough. It's no accident that the Lord brought her into the lives of us at Jeter-Watson. We're so much richer for having had a year to get to know her.

Donna will be missed by all the teachers at Jeter Watson because of her kind and caring ways. I, especially, enjoyed our lunches and talks together and her visits to my frequent "tea parties." I'm sorry she didn't have a chance to learn how to play the piano, something she really wanted to do. My sympathies to the whole family for one taken who had a lot of life left in her to live.

Donna was one of the sweetest people i've ever met. God used Donna to bless me and my family at one of our lowest times. I loved her very much. She truly was one of a kind. I know I'll see her in heaven one day
With Loving Thoughts,
