Memorial contributions may be made to the Grand Rapids Pacers in Donna's memory.

Donna will be missed so very much. She was one of the few who could take a serious moment and turn it into a joke. Who's going to laugh with me now at the strange names we turned up for scanning at work?! I'll always remember Donna coming to work with the radio blaring, bouncing her whole body to the tune, and not leaving her car until the song was ended. Donna always had a big smile and a good word for everybody, but was never afraid to speak her mind.

What a tremendous loss to her family and friends.

Love ya Donna,

Nadine

To Larry, Jessica and Little Larry. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Things just won't be the same at Vickies' without Donna's popping in or just always being there. I loved her laughter, and her attitude on life. I am so sorry for your loss. It was a true pleasure to have known her. Eleanore

The Basin, The Rock, The Steps, The Libary, Roma's, Main St, William St, The Wall, The Jersey Shore. All seem so far away, so long ago. And at times just like yesterday. The laughter, the joy, the tears, the fights, the fears. Growing up and growing apart. Our memories of the past to keep us holding on to today. We shall all miss you. Good Night Irene..... Light & love Marianne

So sorry to hear about your great loss. I had such a great time golfing with Donna and the whole league just loved her. She has a special place in heaven and is at peace. Thank God for such loving friends that we can treasure in our hearts. She'll be missed but always remembered until we see her. My prayers are with Larry, Jessica and Little Larry. May God grant you His peace and Bless you richly each day ahead.

Although years and miles seperated us I will always remember that some of the best times of my life were spent floating down the Delaware River without a care in the world with you and Larry, Joey, Tommy and anybody who came along. I have missed you and the times we used to have. Seems like a lifetime ago.

I am deeply sadden to hear about Donna passing.

I will always remember the good times we had together, and the nickname she had giving me, each time i walked into the credit union, she would say unto her co-worker look out here come HOLLYWOOD.

To little Larry, as your basketball coach, you need to know your mom is watching you from haven. If there is anything i could do just call me.I will keep the family in my prayers.
