I finally met my BFF!!. She was the best!! She cared so much about others and she gave her all when I needed her. Her love of the outdoors and her pool were, I believe, her faves. Her family always came first. When a Friend was on the outs with another of her Friends she tried to path things up. I will always love this woman and will miss her terribly. Shoot, I already do!

Donna was like a second mom to me as I was growing up. Her oldest son Brandon and I are only a week apart. We grew up as more of a family than anything. She made us laugh all the time and always made us kids feel silly along with her.
You will be cherished and missed aunt Donna!
