Donna Jean Carney

Donna lit up our lives with her beautiful smile, wonderful sense of humor, crazy fun ways and deep concern for those she loved. When my husband had his first heart surgery Donna came to Oregon to be with me and I'll always remember how big her eyes got and her squeal when she laid down in our water bed! "O my gosh", she said, "will it stop moving?" And she laughed and laughed. What fun she was. It's no wonder we all miss her so much.

Donna, I will always treasure your freindship and I feel blessed to have had you for my friend and the support that you gave for many years. Thanks for always being there for me and especially your concern and unconditional love for my daughter, Debbie. You are missed every day.

MOM, God, I miss you so much. It has been a year since we said good-bye, it has been a tough year without you. The only thing that has kept us going is Dad and the thought of your laugh, your smile and just all the memories that you have left all of us.
Amanda didn't want to play her soccer game today, she wanted to spend the day with Gpa, but she relizes that this is not what you would of wanted. That you would be watching both girls play today and be very excited that they played...

It's almost been a full year without one of my favorite family members. she was like my second mom, she would drop me off at school somedays, and she would say, "now garrett, don't cause any trouble". Now, every time I am doing something that i might soon regret, a voice pops into my head saying garrett, use your head. There has not been a day that has passed that I did not think of my grandma. When I think about her, a smile comes onto my face because I know that her goal in life was to...

To Emory and the Family,

Here it's been nearly a year since our Donna left us. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. The world is not as nice a place without her in it. I have wonderful memories of Donna...she was such a positive, happy person. She said to me when I last saw her..."I'll see you again, Darlin'" and right then and there I knew I'd better watch my p's and q's so that I would indeed get to see Donna again!

You're missed so much Donna and you'll live...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!
We love you

Mom is just a name that she was given once she had me, but it is a name that she truly earned and deserved. Actually there isn't a word or a name for her. If we had to search for one specific name it wouldn't be found. She was a Supermom, Super wife, Super cook, Super Volunteer, Super Spirit Lifter.
There was nothing that she wouldn't tackle if she was asked, just like my Dad. They love all of us kids and grandkids, Gma Lola and everyone that comes in contact with them. We never had an...

So while we miss mom not being here with us physically, she is still here. C'mon, you've noticed it too......from something as direct as my phone still says Mom C when I get a call from the house, to every snowman I see in the Christmas sections of stores. I can hear her voice while I am guessing the scores on "Dancing With the Stars" and watching who got voted out on "Survivor". She will be there for every trip to Vegas, sporting event and birthday (although it will be tough to ask her...

It is hard to put into words the feelings that I have. On one hand I am relieved that she is free from pain and suffering, yet on the other hand I miss her ever so much.
It pains me to think that my children will have to grow up without hearing their crazy grandma's laugh. I can only share the many memories I have of my mother with my children. I hope that my children will have as many crazy and silly memories of me as I do of my mother. (chinese fire drills, toilet papering, field...
