John, I'm so sorry to hear this news. It was a pleasure, however, to read about her life and smile thinking about her. She was wonderful and I am happy I knew her. I hope you are able to find the peace and comfort that you need.

Very sadden to learn of Donna's passing. When starting at Cornell's Law School I quickly learned to appreciate Donna's humor and quick wit.

My thoughts and prayers are with Donna's family, may your loving memories of Donna help you through the difficult days ahead.
