LaDonna,
You're never far from my thoughts, particularly around our birthdays and holidays. I miss you so very much. I miss how we never failed to laugh until we cried, our restaurant crawls, your invaluable advice and encouragement. I'm blessed for the time we had. Rest in Power my dear sister-friend.

I knew La Donna in California during the time that she lived there. We had lost touch and I'm sorry to learn of the passing of a fellow Howard University Bison and friend. My condolences to her family. I have very fond memories of her smile and sense of humor.

I was a nine year-old 4th GRADER when I first met LaDonna BROWN at Charles Young Elementary. I and all of the other boys had never seen anything like her. Like my wife Pam, she had a smile that could ignite the sunrise with a personality to match. I could write a book, but sometimes less is more.
There will be a Charles Young-Browne JHS reunion on October 5. It will no doubt be saddened by her passing. Condolences to her family.
And May her STILL WATER PEACE INDEED BE STILL. ❤❤

What a soldier and a sweet spirit. Ladonna gave Love and now she's with the angels in Heaven smiling brighter than ever. Well Done.

On behalf of Eastern High School, Class of 1968, we extend our condolences to LaDonna's family.
She was our classmate and friend and we will miss her infectious smile. Growing up in N.E. - D.C. she befriended many of her classmates from elementary school to Eastern. Her personality earned her the covenant title of Homecoming Queen her senior year at Eastern. She will be missed by her 68' fellow Ramblers.

9 years ago God honored me by adding LaDonna to my life. We became my sisters. I am very pleased that I became able to walk along side of her during her year long journey.
I miss her tremendously. Her
infectious SMILE and positive attitude has left a void in my heart.
But I'm so proud to have had her ordained to be a part of my life.
