Dan, Lydia, Audry, Buscha,
Donna came into our lives 4 years ago. We desperately needed an embroiderer and she answered our ad and prayers. She fit right in to our family, giving as well as taking the jokes and general mayhem. We'll always remember her "Glamorizing", with the earrings and cans of hairspray. We miss the snack table with the Mallow Cups, Teddie Grahams, Peeps, etc. She kept us in line, with her well thought out advice. She is very proud of her Dan, Lydia, Audry, and Buscha , and we know that she will be with all of us forever. Many of her customers and friends send their best wishes. MJM is a much better place because of Donna and her talents. We will carry with us very good memories and lessons learned from her.
Mike, John, Walter, Mary, Wayne, Joe, Heather, Tim, and the many salesmen and customers that Donna made look good.

Dear Lydia and Audrey:
Your Mom was one of the most joyful and generous people I've had the priviledge of knowing. I remember how she made fleece scarves with you and then you gave them to the whole class at Christmas time. She also laughed a lot! Please come to me when you need anything.
Love,
Mrs. Gear

Ceil, and family,
We were heartbroken to hear of your daughter's death, and know how horribly painful these last few weeks have been. We only hope that you find the support of family and friends to be "the bridge" you need to traverse these difficult times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and those many friends whom are just as close as 'family'.
Sincerely,

Lisa, Adam, Jessica & Jennifer Bruneau

Dan and family,
I haven't seen your dearest Donna in quite a while, but for many years I enjoyed her company on dart leagues around town. Whether it was putting an eyeball in her drink or heckling the opposing team, she brought spunk, energy and fun wherever she went. May love comfort you.

Donna, you will never be gone. You live in the hearts of all the people that came in contact with you, spreading the joy of laughter of life. When I had the opportunity to be with you, there was always laughter in your voice. When I think of you, I still hear it and thank God for people like you. Joan McDonald (Pams Mom)

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I know what it is like to lose someone this young. Donna was one of the coolest people I knew. She was so full of life enjoying every day. Growing up together she showed me how to like your self and don't worry about what other people say. She will be sadly missed.
