Donna is the reason I became a librarian. I knew her from a few of the different libraries she worked at but esp at Rahway. She made such a wonderful impact on my life and my daughter's life too. My baby grew up in that library and still remembers the New Year's party Ms. Donna would have for the kids (ball drop and everything!). RIP Ms. Donna.

I was best friends with donna all through Grammar School at St. Peter's. We had years of dancing classes at Christie Brown's. I spent many fun times at donna's house. Her mom was such a warm and friendly person. I called her "Aunt Tilly". Donna was a beautiful girl and a wonderful friend. Rest in Peace my friend, I will miss you
