My thoughts and prayers are with Donna and her loved ones in this time of sadness.
Donna and I lost touch a number of years ago, but I am proud to have known her and to have been a part of her life, and to have had her for a friend.
"For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be"

You touched many, and the world was a better place for having had you in it.

I first met Donna 2 1/2 years ago when she was assigned to work with our family as we began our first journey on hospice. Then we met again this September when we started our second hospice journey. She has been with us every step of the way... through all the ups and downs. Donna has been a wealth of support and information for hundreds of people. She dedicated her life to helping patients and families deal with death. Her smile was infectious and her compassion and interest in how we were doing heartfelt and genuine. Please know she was so admired and will be terribly missed. My family is particularly grateful to have known her. May you find comfort and peace in the upcoming days/months/years knowing she made such a difference in this world. -- The Razzano Family
