I only have known Donna for a very short time. I met her last September whenever I started my new job. She had the sweetest personality! If would've had time, I could've listened to her voice for hours, because it sounded like little dainty bells! Hard to explain. However, we did have many conversations, and I learned so much from Donna. She was my friend and I loved her. I'll miss her everyday. She was full of love, and showed it through out her life, (I got this from our conversations). Just a wonderful, talented woman.
