Donna was one of the kindest giving persons I've ever known. While it's been decades since I've seen her I will always cherish her great smile and positive attitude. My deepest sympathy to Donna's family and friends.

I have not seen Donna since high school but during that time she taught me some life lessons. I hoped to see her in October and tell her so. She will be protecting her family from above, as she always has while on earth.

So sad to hear of your passing Donna. You were a great friend to so many during your HS days. Memories of many fun times with you and even catching up a few times after. While our paths haven't crossed again in many years, I share in the grief of your passing way too young. Rest in peace my friend. Colleen McDonald Deehan

You were so much fun in high school and so smart. You kicked my butt with your grades, grace and strength.
See you in heaven when I get there....but no smoking in the girl's room. Those nuns will punish us. ❤
