Donna was a dear friend. Full of good humor and fun to be around. She was a very talented artist and hard working. I regret that we did not stay in touch thru the years. She will be greatly missed.

While we didn't do a very good job of staying in touch in recent years, we were close before she married Gabe and got very busy being the perfect wife. I still remember her teaching me tricks in the kitchen, and how Lance was the focal point around which her life revolved. She will indeed be missed!
