Jenny and family
I am so sorry for your loss. You have been one of my best friends for many, many years. I cant remember many years without you. I have so many memories of your mom while we were growing up. She was always the "cool" mom. We had so much fun at your house just hanging out or watching MTV. I still remember all the sleepovers spent at your house with your mom getting onto us about the phone cord down the hall and laughing to loud. I loved your mom and thought of her as the years have past. Every time I drove by the house on Westlink, I would tell the boys, Thats were I spent lots of days when I was your age. It's amazing how fast times goes, we have kids in school together carring on our legacy. (ha ha) Although the years have past your family has been one I always remember. It has been a while since I saw your mom but I can still hear her voice, her laugh and see her smile. Those memories I will share someday with my grandkids. Jenny I love you and always have no amount of time between talking ever changes our friendship. I am here for you any time.
My condolences to all your family.
My prayers are for you
Love and memories

We lived next door to Donna on Amarado; she was probably the best neighbor we ever had. Whether it was keeping an eye on eachother's homes, pets, plants, etc. or Donna's running over (two different times) in the middle of the night to sit with our 3 older children while we rushed to the hospital to deliver our 4th. Sorry about those false alarms! You will be remembered as a woman who was fun and giving. We were blessed to have had you as a neighbor and friend.

Jenny, my best friend for 34 years, I have some of the most wonderful memories of my life with you and when we were younger they always included your mom. She was the greatest! We could always hang out at your house anytime for any amount of time. Donna always made me feel welcome and was full of great advice. She was the mom that all of your friends loved. She will be greatly missed. My condolences to you and all of your family. I am here anytime you need me! Tracey Bauer

Ed, Chip, and Jen,
I am so sorry and shocked to hear about Donna. We worked together at the Controller's Office and remained friends throughout the years she worked at WSU. We often had lunch together.

Donna was such an energetic person and always a friend. May God bless each of you and the grandchildren. Remember the good times - that is what she would want.

Dear Ed, Chip, Jen and families,

I am so sorry to hear about Donna. We were good friends and worked at the university together for several years. We carpooled for a number of years as well. Boy, did we ever share lots of laughs! Those were very memorable times.

May God give you comfort and peace as you go through this difficult time. Always cherish your memories of her and they will sustain you forever.

I am in Arizona tending to my parents so will be unable to attend her services, but please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ed, Chip & Jen:
I knew Donna from WSU Controller's Office. I remember when Donna, Minda, Susan Scribner and I would get together. We would go out or have cookouts. We always had a great time together.

Donna was so energetic and fun to be with. I will never forget her.

It must be very difficult to loose a loved one so suddenly. But I pray that you will find peace knowing she's in a much better place and that one day you all will be together again.

With Deepest Sympathy,
