Read MoreDonna and I met living in the same dorm at UofI. She was such joy to be around. Years later, thrilled to be at your wedding, receive her copy of the strawberry & pretzel mold and later running into her at National Airport. It was as if time had not passed. My deepest sympathies to her family.

Donna was one to the most gentle, caring and overall kind people I have known. My heart goes out to you Mike and your family. Be only as strong as you need to be and strong enough to reach out when you need hope.

Donna, I lit candles for you in many churches all over Russia and I am doing it again here. I hope you are at peace now. I will miss you so much!
