To The Family of Donna Lasher,
I only knew your Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister for a very short time. I am a new employee of Meadowbrook but wanted to share with you what a special woman Donna was. She made me feel like I was part of the Meadowbrook Family from day one. I will always treasure the tiny bit of time we had together. She became very special to me in just a few short weeks. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Dear Jodi & Teddy,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was a special lady and always made me feel so welcome at your house during the summers I spent in New York after we moved away. She had a great sense of humor and could always brighten any day. I will keep you all in my prayers and know that I am thinking of you.

Donna was one of the most wonderful and loving people that I have had the privilege to care for at Meadowbrook Healthcare as a CNA. She had become a wonderful friend to my Grandmother Merilda Johnpeer two years ago and myself six months ago. She loved to listen to my daughter sing, especially Jesus take the wheel. I will always have a special place in my heart for Donna, and remember that she is a Guardian Angel to all of those who have cared about her. We all love you Donna!
