She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her. I was shocked when I heard she had died. She was always up beat and we prayed together. God bless her.

Mrs. Donna was such a sweet Godly lady! She would often call my workplace and offer a kind word and say a prayer with us on the phone. There sure aren't many people like her left in this world. Prayers for her family and friends as I am sure she will be missed.

Prayers and condolences for the Prayer Family!
I served as her Pastor at Burks Temple from 2011-2014. Her passion was the children and the youth! Her “Saturday With Jesus” program was always packed with children and youth from the entire community! She will be sorely missed!

I’m so sorry to hear of the home going of your mother, sister, aunt and cousin. I pray God will strengthen and comfort each of you during this difficult time. Donna was my roommate and classmate at Northwestern State University from 1969-1973. She was kind and generous friend. We maintain contact down through years. We were even phone prayer partners especially at the beginning of the pandemic. She will always be in my heart and I know I will see her again.
Family and friends be comforted in God’s Word:
"Because the Lord Himself, with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are living, who are left remaining, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we will be always with the Lord." Amen
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) Recovery Version
