Donna, Your Bose family sure does miss you. Its at times like this that we could really use to hear your banter and make us smile. You would be really disappointed in the lack of baseball this year and even more disappointed in the performance of the Redsox ! You are always in our thoughts.

My condolences to Donna's family. I worked with Donna at Bose. She trained me and was a wealth of knowledge. I was very lucky to sit next to her. More importantly, she was a wonderful friend. I loved her stories about camping and her family. I think of her often and miss her every day. My thoughts are with you.

My sincere condolences to the Perry Family.
Donna was an amazing lady and I feel privileged to have known her.

Those we love don't go away,
they walk beside us ever day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
still loved, still missed and very dear.

My condolences to Donna's family. I met Donna around 17 years ago at Bose. She was always dependable, kind and sharp witted. She was also a great teacher. She trained me for one of the jobs I had at Bose and she was always patient. You would always help Donna if she needed it because she ALWAYS had time for others. Her candy basket in her cube was a go to place being filled with wint-o-green Lifesavers and Hersey's miniatures. It was nice to have a mint and say hello. She loved her family and it was heart warming to know how much you all care about each other. She loved the vacations in Maine... I have missed her since her retirement and miss her now.
Rest in peace and God Bless.

My Condolences to Donnas family.
Donna will surely be missed by all of her many Bose friends. Even in the last two years since her retirement we have all missed her quick wit and daily commentary on the red sox performance.
Rest in peace Donna.

I'm so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I attended school with her from Grade 7 - 12 and worked with her at Bose for 29 of her 41 years there. She was such a kind person with such a great smile.

Rest In Peace.
