I met Donna at church at women's group meeting. Donna was a kind and loving person. She always tried to have a big smile even when she was missing her hubby so much. I am very saddened to hear about Donna's passing. I liked her very much and enjoyed talking with her.

I always loved Donna's smile. It was big and welcoming. I had many conversations with her and am happy she is with our Lord. I am sad for her family, but just think how wonderful Paradise is.

Donna always had a smile when we saw her. Whether we were at Church or we saw her at the store she would smile and hug us. Donna was sweet and loved teaching at Church! We are sorry for the family’s loss, Donna is missed dearly.
