Honey and Spirit, my heart goes out to you both, I know how much you loved your mom and how much she loved both of you.
You will always have all the good memories of your mom and the closeness and love you shared from the time you were babies.
You were her whole world.
When I spent the day with her at Wexford House and took her outside in the beautiful weather, she loved it. We sat out there for about an hour and she talked so much about you two and all her grand babies.
I will miss her too but I will always have her in my heart as you will and remember all the good times.

I hadn't seen Donna for some years and when I learned of her illness I thought of her every day and prayed for her as well. I will never forget her infectious laugh, her beauty, and her love for life and especially for her daughters and granddaughters. I would like to extend my sympathy to Honey, Spirit and their girls. As we grow older we realize how precious life is and it is never easy to lose those we love. Fortunately we have our memories to sustain us, which enables us to keep our losses alive for as long as we can. Rest in peace Donna and hopefully we will meet again someday.

There are some people who bless this world by their very presence. Donna is one of those - a larger-than-life spirit of grace and energy, she brought life to all around her everywhere her journeys took her. We are only, ultimately, measured by what we leave behind. Family. Legacy. Memories. Well, Donna sure left her share and she lived like she rode - all out and "like she stole it." It is with fondness, respect and love that I remember Donna and who she is and what she built and the "girls" who, each and every one, are a gift from Donna to us all. You know Heaven is a louder place today...for sure she got her chariot fitted with Screaming Eagles. RIP Donna. Love & Respect Always.
