Donna M. File

Dearest Steve, Lauri, Doris and Family,

What a wonderful legacy has been left to you in Donna's life. She made us feel so welcomed when we were with her by her warm smile, twinkle in her eyes, and lovely graciousness. She had a way of making everyone around her feel special. We also loved her great sense of humor, being amused by a good joke or sharing one herself. The heart she had for people was so evident in the way she so readily reached out to help those who had a special...

Donna's dedication to the Gooyear Band in which I played made you feel like one big family. We will all miss her very much.

My husband & I will miss Donna's smiling face in the Goodyear band. She kept everyone and everything organized. Somehow we will have to go on without her. What a sudden shock.

To the Donna File Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Donna will be missed by all who knew her.

To the Donna File Family:

I only knew Donna for a few months, having only joined the Goodyear Band in September. She was an integral part of the band "family" and will be sorely missed.

To the family of Donna File,
My heart aches knowing I will not see her again in this world but rejoices that Donna
is with God. All of us were so lucky to have her in our lives. I will never forget how Donna and Steve would come and pick up the kids and take them to church or out for ice cream. If a baby was around they would be holding it.
I will miss her. Love, Barbara Ray
