DeSantis Family,
I was so shocked to hear of Donna's passing. I found out when I was working at the Stansbury Beach Club. Donna would always stop at the gatehouse to show her ID and we would talk. Just before she would leave she always had her chocolate snowball. Donna was a very easy going person with such a big smile. She will be truly missed. God Bless your family.

I just heard of Donna's passing this weekend, while working at Stansbury Beach Club. Donna was always smiling and always took time out to talk to my children and entire family. She will truly be missed by everyone who knew her at the pool. My deepest sympathy.

Ritchie,
My family just heard of your sister Donna's passing. I am so sorry. It's been nine months since my brother Timmy has passed. All I know is that it doesn't get any easer, you just learn to bare it. You were there for us and I feel so bad that we couldn't be there for you and your family. I will pray for you and your family. I will also say a special prayer for Donna. All of my love to you and your family.
