Dear Kerry, Kevin, Charlotte & Ryan,

Your mother was a very special lady in my life and in the life of some many at St. John Bosco Church. Our choir "Fiat" sang this morning at 9:30 am and your mother's presence a few rows from us was truly missed. She was a great supporter of our group and we will truly miss her smiling face Sunday mornings.

My kids loved your mother. I can remember when she worked at the Drug Store ... they would always go looking for her and if she wasn't at the front they would be asking where she was.

Donna was an amazing lady with such a zest for life! I know we all have a awesome angel watching over us.

Lots of love, Dawn, Randy, Sean, Kira and Andrew Nowicki

To you all,
Rest assured that Donna was a very special angel here on earth too, as she always took the time to listen, and when she spoke you knew it came from the heart.
From those she touched through St. Vincent de Paul.

My dearest Kerry and Ryan. I am so so sorry for your lose. I want you to know how much your mom meant to me. I so enjoyed every second that I spent with her at family gatherings. My only regret is that I did not spend more time with her one on one. She always made me laugh and I loved her positive attitude.

You both mean the world to me also and Ryan just remember you are part of our family and I look forward to spending time with you on the every holiday.
