Not sure what to say?

I missed knowing a beautiful and inspiring spirit. I am only now getting to know more about Donna and Ralph Hayes. I am inspired by her even now and enchanted by Ralph's expression of their lives and work.

I remember Donna from years ago when my parents, Robert & Ruth Libner took me to Key West - I think that is where I met Donna & Ralph. Such lovely people & I know they still have some of Donna's wonderful paintings! So sorry to hear of her passing.

Ralph, sorry to hear about Donna, what a lovely lady. She will always be remembered in my heart. I've never forgotten you both from Key West, Florida.

I think of you so very often and miss knowing I can't call you! I can still hear you talking tho.......such a happy lady and so fun and always had such nice things to say to make people feel good! So thankful you are my aunt. Love U, Karen

Donna, you were an amazing woman and I was fortunate to have been able to serve you at the Cafe at the Lemmon Holton Cancer Pavillion over these past few years. I have never met another couple quite like you and Ralph. Your sweet, yet strong personality and enduring love for your husband truly warmed my heart. When I visited with you, you never talked about yourself, but always wanted to hear about what was going on in my life. Gosh, what stories you could have told me....what I wouldn't...

You have been a gift & blessing in my life, dearest Donna, whether in person in Key West or thru phone & correspondence in Seattle. It has been a friendship that distance did not alter. We could giggle as well on the phone as in person, always with love. You are in a different place my friend, but forever in my heart. I do extend love & sympathy to Ralph, the love of Donna's life, and to family. I feel richer, and perhaps kinder, because of her presence in my life.
