I am proud to have called Donna among one of my closest friends and business associates. She had a serious side that some would call hard in business, but she has a heart as big as Texas and her generosity was just as big. She did know how to TCB. But to those close enough to her she was a softee at heart. She will be greatly missed.
Danny my heart aches for you and your entire family, but Mom is doing just fine now "no more tears and no more pain".

Me and my sister grew up with Donna. She and my sister were the greatest of friends. I know she will be greatly missed. I lost my sister 3 years ago, And I know your pain. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that she is at peace now and is watching over all of you.Now you have your own guardian angel. Though the pain never goes totally away you will see things that only you her family will notice that will let you know that she is still with you. This I know for sure. I'm sorry for your loss and I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.

It is with profound sadness that we must bid goodbye to Donna. To Family & Friends, please accept our condolences and deepest sympathy. We know this is a difficult time for all of you and we pray for your comfort. Donna was a very ambitious person and she touched many lives while she walked this earth. All of us who had the privilege of knowing Donna must agree we have lost a dear loved one and friend. She was a successful and professional business lady and could take care of business. She looked out for a lot of folks and always responded when you called upon her. She lived a life to be proud of.
Rest in Peace Donna Redding

I never met Donna personally but spoke with her on the phone a couple of times when she first found out about her illness. I want to thank her for giving my son a chance to work for her. They may have argued like brother and sister but I know they would both be there in a heartbeat if the other needed them. My thoughts are with the family.
