Not sure what to say?

I miss you everyday! You we a special person in my life! Love you!

Not a day goes by that I stop and miss you girl, not a single day. You will be in my heart till I take my last breath and join you. Your spirit will be with me always, we have the owl hanging in the tree right outside the window and lots of birds take refuge behind it. It makes me smile because it's so you to protect the little ones. I miss you girlfriend, every single day.

From the time I came over to AT&T in an acquisition, to the day she left AT&T due to her illness, Donna was the person who was always there for me. Whenever I felt completely lost, Donna always knew where to find the information, or to ask that question I was afraid to ask. I learned from her that we are all in this together, and when you feel lost, maybe everyone else is just pretending they know what is going on, but are feeling just as lost. I miss her dearly and extend my sincerest...

Donna and I were friends first, and AT&T colleagues second. We were work 'faves', and though we never met in person it felt as though we had been friends for a long time. Donna was always there with a supportive comment, a corny joke, a keen insight and a caring thought. She adored her dedicated and loving husband, Roger, and her beloved dogs (not necessarily in that order!) and was so looking forward to their new home and retired life after AT&T, which she so richly deserved! Roger, know...

Words are so inadequate in describing the genuine joy and love everyone who knew Donna felt in her presence. She was truly one who always lifted your emotions when you were with her. She was always quick-witted, with a sense of humor that I will always remember even at the worst of her illness. She could find something funny, in whatever circumstance, that would leave you laughing! Not only was she a beautiful woman, but she had a loving spiritual gift from her heart that very few ever...

Donna was so kind and fun. When I first joined AT&T, she volunteered to help me. She was the only person that could make all those acronyms a comedy routine. She was always available when anyone needed help, no matter how busy she was. Donna loved Roger, her family, friends and their dogs. She was a true joy, will be missed and thought of often by all of us.

My prayers are with you Roger, may our good Lord comfort you and all of Donna's family at this most difficult time. Donna was a bright light on this earth, full of contagious laughter, warmth of spirit and generous love. She was a true friend to all who knew her, and a beautiful example of strength and grace. She will be very much missed.

Donna became by Boss when we were with BellSouth. She was the most caring person both professionally and personally. Once you met Donna, you met a dear friend for life. Spending time with her, she would keep you laughing and she always saw the bright side of any situation. She would do anything she could for EVERYBODY! As our careers changed, the "Girls" (Donna, Joan Rhea, Vicki Boyd and I) vowed to stay in touch so we committed to going to lunch together at least once a quarter. We would...
