Not sure what to say?

There is too much I want to say. There just isn't enough room. None of you want to read my book. Which, reminds me Mike, Merrill, Eric, to read her journals because she was never able to write her own book. I met Donna Fall 2021. We quickly realized we shared our Judaism. This facilitated a quick and deep connection between us. Donna carried with her a bundle of "Wants". Most seemed she had already accomplished. She was especially proud of her work with the Red Cross.

I knew Donna from her love of knitting. We spent many days sitting in the yarn shop laughing and knitting. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren, had a love of life, wicked sense of humor and those beautiful twinkling eyes. Those of us who loved Donna and spent time knitting with her plan to drink a toast to her because that's what she would want. Cheers to you Donna! I'm so thankful to have known you. Go in peace and love. RG

We spent many happy years square dancing and at dinner parties with Donna and Bill in Arizona, before they moved to Oregon. What a lovely lady! She will be missed by many!!

Yes, dear friend "Boy did she live". Having known you was a special gift. Celebrating your college graduation with a party made me realize that nothing is impossible! I remember our last time seeing each other before you moved to Oregon and we had a nice lunch together on the outdoor patio of a Mexican Resturant. Congratulations on a life well lived, dearest Donna. Carol Lantz

What a grand lady Donna was! So glad to have known her - even for the relatively short time we had. Our heartfelt condolences.

My heartfelt sympathy at the passing of your mother and grandmother. Donna was a very dear friend and I am so grateful that our paths crossed. I can see in my mind's eye, your mother laughing so hard at the last sedar that she attended at my home, before she left for Portland. What a dear soul. So full of life and love. I will try and attach my favorite picture of her enjoying an iced cream soda at the Sugar Bowl in Scottsdale. Her eyes sparkled and she smiled from ear to ear as though she...

What a full life she had. My condolences to her family.
