Grandmother Donna was the best grandma a kid could ever hope for. After losing my Granddad Norman late last year and now grandmother this has been a tough year for us. All I can hope for is that they are in a better place.

Donna always brightened up the room. I'm blessed by having known both her and Norm. They will be missed terribly by our family.

Aunt Donna was beautiful inside and out. She worked hard all her life; I'm glad she also had a lot of fun. The way I remember her is Don's birthday "Indian" party, dancing around the tipi with Danny, Mike, and Don, or when she painted, or the time she was laughing at John's puppy when it was supposed to do tricks but just sat there. Everytime John would try again and the puppy looked the same, she just howled! She had a good heart and always meant the best for everyone.

Donna was a dear friend of my mother and an exceptionally sweet, funny, sunny person. I know that she is happy to be joined with her husband and other loved ones in heaven.

Aunt Donna was a great lady, and She loved to entertain and share funny stories. She had great taste, and was absolutely tireless in her work, and in doing things for family and friends. She, and my late Uncle Norman were the classiest, funnest couple. They were inseperable, and it's consoling to know they are together again in Heaven. I'll miss Her.
