Dearest Donna,
I regret losing touch with you over the years, and now I finally found you, in God's loving hands eternally. I am sad for me, but rejoice for you, for I know that your beautiful smile is lighting up the heavens. Love, Petra

Donna was an Encourager of those around her. She really was interested when she asked "How are you?".
I was the recipient of many notes of appreciation and cards from her when I was ill or injured or bereaved over the last 20+ years

I WAS IN DONNA'S CLASS THE FIRST THREE YEARS I WENT TO MOLALLA HIGH SCHOOL. SHE WAS SO HAPPY ALL THE TIME I JUST KNEW I HAD TO BE A PART OF THAT. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE A PART OF ONE OF HER MANY TRIPS TO MEXICO. IT WAS THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME I STILL TALK ABOUT TO THIS DAY. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT HER DEATH TODAY AND I MUST SAY THROUGH MY TEARS THAT GOD GAINED HIMSELF ANGEL. SHE GAVE SO MUCH TO ME AND I ONLY HOPE SHE KNEW HOW MUCH I LOVED HER FOR THAT. GOD BLESS.

Senora Wendling was sincerely loved and will be sorely missed. She had a spunk and sparkle that made her a favorite among many of her students! Among my many wonderful memories of her, one that has particularly stood out since the discovery of the tumor in her brain, was during a bomb threat. The HS had recieved a threat, and I happened to be in her class when we were asked to evacuate the building. During this time, Senora smiled peacefully and said that all we could do was trust in God to...
