One year ago today you left us for a better place. There have been many changes since you left, but one thing that will never change is how much you are loved and missed. Time will never change that!
We will be together again soon! Love you

Donna and family,
I can only say "you left us too soon". I could write a book but I won't. Let me just say that I loved you when you were alive, I love you now and forever. I will forever miss you. The day you died you took a piece of my heart with you. Save a seat for me next to you.
As for Stacy and Stephen I love you both. I am so sorry for your loss. I know you both have a hole in your heart and as family we will get through this together. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love,
Aunt Toni

Donna was a sweet warm person. I was the Rimkus' paper girl and one of Stevie's babysitters when they lived on Hunters Ridge Rd in Shelton. All the girls in the neighborhood loved hanging out with Donna and babysitting Steven. There was always food, soda and of course the pin-ball machine for the babysitters. Donna was very generous to the teen girls in the neighborhood. Those were fun times and I will never forget. May she rest in peace.
