DONNA HAWKINS

Dear Donna,
It has been very hard to realize that we won't be getting together (here), but you are very much with us in the Communion of Saints. I have felt your presence even more closely in recent days, as I go about my music and life. . Thank You for your gracious and joyful way, and for the music that we have made together in God's house. Your life continues with us-- so very many whom you have served with generosity and kindness.

Love, Mary

May Donna's family find comfort and peace. I am in the choir at St. Rita's and she always made the coming out on a Thursday night for practice such a joy. Her smile is infectious and her devotion to God and Mary enormous. What a joy she has made for me and my family at St. Rita's. Thank you all for sharing her with us.

Donna, your voice is silenced to us now till we meet again someday. Heaven is your new venue. Now you are free and with our Good Shepherd. I will forever hear you singing Soul of My Savior in my memory. We all love you and will always miss you..

Sweet,dear Donna,
You are now free from pain and singing with the angels. Thank you for offering your sufferings for others. Thank you for showing us how to live and how to die. God grant you peace!

Tony and I would like to give deepest sympathy to Donna's family. Donna will be greatly missed. She was a very special person and friend.

Thank you Donna for the speical gift of singing like an angel you shared with us. You are a saintly gentle soul, may you rest in peace and may your family find comfort and hope in God's love.

The music in the celestial choir is just a bit sweeter now. Thank you, Donna, for your gift of devotion to beautiful music to enhance our prayer experience in liturgy all these years. We lift you up in prayer for your new life in Christ and we pray for your family as they deal with this great loss. Pray for all of us!
