How I will miss you, Donnie!

Donna was our smartest most talented friend for 50 years. We loved our many conversations about family, the meaning of life, and books with both she and Jerry. Political conversions with them were always a highlight in the political season! We look forward to seeing your family on Sat. in honor of dear Donna.

I am deeply sorry for your family's loss. May your hearts find comfort in God's beautiful promises for the future. John 6:40

So sad to learn of Donna's death. She was a much admired cousin who was gracious, elegant, warm, and genuinely interested in the lives of others. I will always be grateful for the lovely note she sent when my brother died and how she and Jerry traveled to Indiana for his graveside service to lend support to our family. I am proud to have one of her paintings hanging in my home - such amazing talent. My thoughts and prayers are with her children and siblings at this very difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear that the Dayton View Triangle had lost a most wonderful neighbor. Donna (and late husband Jerry) made such a huge contribution to this neighborhood and to Dayton's schools. She was such an example of a wonderful person, also a painter of note, and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with her family.

Donna was such a lovely friend and wonderful artist. She will be sadly missed.

We will miss Donna, a great lady.

My condolences to the Brinkman family. I already miss her kindness, friendship and amazing talent.

Rest in peace you dear sweet lady. You were certainly a gift to this world.
