To my then 2 year old son, Donna was "the lady who laughs." To me, Donna was always a dear friend, a true force of nature who touched and enriched every one she met.
Jeff, Joan, Michael, Jimmy and family...you have our deepest sympathy and love.

Jeff,

Like so many others, I was always jealous that random luck got you THE cool mom. Many of us would have struggled much harder during our insecure early years if we hadn't had Donna's advice and approval. You and your brothers were very lucky.

Jeff,

I know I speak for Brother Greg as well, when I offer our sympathies to you and your family. From what Dan and Jan said, the memorial was just right for your mom. Chris Evenson
