Incredible to think it´s already been 9 years. Sympathy to Jim & family during this anniversary month

Happy Heavenly Birthday Donna. Love you!

Wee Forest Folk, Donna painted those miniature collectables for the company for several years. They´re so small. I was always amazed at her artistry especially doing such beautiful work on such tiny objects. She gifted me with two of them, a tiny Santa and a tiny wedding anniversary couple. Every time I see them I think of Donna. You are missed!

We remember Donna´s artistry, her sense of humor and her devotion to her grandson. We continue to miss her and all the visits, emails and text messages we exchanged over the years. We still display proudly a portrait she made of our dog. She & Jim were wonderful caregivers to Nana Casey for years at the end of her time on earth. We join Jim in sadness at this 7th anniversary time of her passing.

I discovered that Donna had passed and I am heartbroken. We met several years ago when she designed some lovely book covers for me, communicating only by email, but I soon grew to love her sense of humor, and the tales of her little Poms (Pixel?) and my rowdy Irish Setter. She was so witty, so delightful to work with. The last cover she designed was in 2012, and she went above and beyond, including original artwork to reflect the story. She told me that she couldn't wait to read it. I have...

I just learned of Donna's passing. We were friends as young children when we lived in their duplex on River Street. We reconnected through Facebook in recent years. My condolences to her family and friends. She was a remarkably creative and talented woman.

Donna, we will miss you here on earth dearly. Your whole life was artful. It's the way you took your photos, painted your mice family, created your books and painting. Such talent!!!!! Thank you for all your help when I would ask you an art or computer design question, you were always so generous with your knowledge.

I hope some one makes a book of all your beautiful bird photos, they are so lovely and make one feel at peace looking at them.

Love you and see you on the other...

Lovely, beautiful Donna....you will be so missed by so many. We look forward to reunite one day and when we do, you will be well, happy and shining again! May God keep you and until then, comfort and keep Jimmy, Judy, Jimmy Jr, Jerry, Steph and all the clan. Love to you all from Knoxville.

I was 12 when I met Donna. She was around 18. I wondered who this gorgeous young woman was that was dating my Uncle Jim. Together they looked to me like the coolest couple on earth! She, with her straight long hair and movie star looks and Uncle Jim with his Buddy Holly look!
The years went by and I got to know Donna as a friend more than an Aunt.
During the last decade, Donna, myself and my Aunt Angie had what I think of as a 3-way texting/email support group with a phone call or a...
