I was so sorry to read of Donna's passing. We had such fun times when our kids were little and some crazy times too. I'll always remember the time that we went to Cape High School at 3:00 A.M. with our blankets, beach chairs and mugs of coffee to wait in line to get our sons, Rusty and Demian, into Mrs. Pease's preschool! And, we so often checked in on whose Jordan Marsh credit card bill was higher; we had a lot of laughs.
Donna was such a kind and caring person and regardless of...

I met Donna in 1969 when we were waitresses together the summer between our Jr and Senior years at UMO. We became fast friends. Eventually I moved away from Maine, but made my annual pilgrimages back home. This always included girl's night out with our friend Roberta Emmons, filled with good food and hours of sitting overlooking the ocean and talking. These past several years have been rough for her and her rock Russ. She will always be in my heart. Be at peace, old friend. I'll love you...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Sorry to hear about Donna's passing. May you find joy in the memories and the peace and comfort from God, friends and family. Sending hugs and prayers.

Donna was a mother extraordinaire. What a wonderful person she was. My sympathy to Russ, Rusty, Joel, and Scott. May Donna's love for you be felt every moment you think of her.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I was saddened to learn of Donna's passing. Donna and I worked together at PROP for many years. It was because of Donna that I became involved with the Cumberland County Head Start. She made a memorable difference and was a warm light in all the lives she touched. May your beuatiful memories of Donna bring your family comfort.

We have fond memories of Donna when our family lived on Stonybrook Road. All five of them would dress up for Halloween. Lots of love and laughter would come from their home. She is forever in our hearts..
