I'm glad to have met Donna through Randy. I enjoyed being with her and doing things with her. We went to her cabin and went kayaking, sat around the camp fire, sang songs and made smores. We had a Barbeque at Randy's house & she liked to talk about the cabin.. I will miss her!

We are sorry for your loss. We are Randy Chiapetto's parents. We feel that we knew Donna through Randy's stories. Randy shared many memories over the years of the camping trips at the cabin. We wish we had the pleasure of meeting her. She will be greatly missed.

A good friend of Donna's was my brother Randy, through him I felt close to her. I visited Illinois September 2003 and had hoped to meet Donna in person, unfortunately she had a setback and wasn't feeling well. She will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to all who knew her. She is now at peace and with her mother again.

I feel lucky to have known Donna, and to have been a part of the 'old Seigle's St. Charles gang'! I'll always miss the days of the Seasonal Dept., the Friday nights at the Filling Station, and most of all, hearing Donna exclaim 'Holy cats'! Donna will definitely never be forgotten by anyone whose life she touched. She will be missed dearly.

Donna will truly be missed. She always had a great store to tell you about her many trips to her cabin up north. She loved to talk about all of her neices and nephews. One thing I will always remember about Donna was that she had a great bunch of close friends they were alway's there for each other. We should all feel blessed to have know Donna if even for a short time.

I feel like I know you because of my friend Randy Chipetto. He kept me informed of your situation at all times. I walked with you many times and kept you, your family and Randy in my prayers. You have peace now and are walking the streets paved of gold! God's Blessings on all who will miss you.
