My memory of Donna was when we worked on the 2nd floor at Metra and me and Donna was going to someone's funeral (I wasn't driving then) and she was kind enough to pick me up! It seems like she was driving about 20 miles an hour! I thought we would NEVER arrive at our destination! But she kept me laughing with her stories. Anywhoo every time I mentioned that LONG car ride, me and Donna would laugh and laugh! I loved me some Donna! When she liked you....she liked you! She was a TRUE friend, her and Tammy! I truly loved them both.

I was 26 years old starting a new job. I had a hunger for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding . You gave me the most precious gift, the gift of friendship.

That gift changed everything. You provided me with direction, and purpose. In-time, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, became my closest companions.

Thank you for making a positive difference in my life Donna. Most importantly, thank you for the gift, the gift of friendship.

May the Holy Spirit bring your family comfort.
