I first met Donna at a Chicago IANDS meeting many years ago. We had many long and interesting conversations over the years. I'm sorry I just learned of her passing today. I'm sure she's having a good time, wherever she is. Blessings and peace, Donna....

I used to work as a nursing assistant at Warren Barr of Buffalo Grove where Donna lived. I remember her as one of the most laid back and friendly person. She would share her sweets with me, show me pictures of her when she was young, tell me about her teaching aerobic dancing, and she would always call me "my friend". Whenever I was free I would stop by just to talk or watch a show. What a sweet, sweet woman. I sincerely hope she is out there in a better world. Thank you, Donna.

I remember when first visiting Tony when he lived with Donna having good talks with her when he was busy.
My condolences go out to the entire family.
