To JP, Tina, Connie, Diane.
So sorry for the loss of your mom. She meant so much to many. May God comfort you at this time and keep you in His Care.
A long time ago.. Donna used to sit me and my siblings, Linda and Art. Donna used to make this HUGE breakfasts for us - and we were just kids. It was her way of saying "I care about you". I felt safe in her house. I knew she wasn't going to let anything happen to us when we were with her. Thank you Donna for caring for us. You were loved.
May God keep Donna's family in His Care during this time.
God bless. I'll be praying for you.

I have been so blessed to have you as a Mother. The sacrifices that you made for us were immeasurable as you always put us first. For many years you were the only parent that we had. With the grace from GOD, you raised all of us to be successful and to value family. Thank you for teaching me to be the Sister, Wife and Mother that I am today; my strength comes from knowing that I am the daughter of Donna P. Smith.
I love you Mom, you will be with me for the rest of my days, I will call on you often........ until we meet again.
Hug our loved ones for me, as I know that God is well pleased with your life's work!

What a great woman to so many , a friend a mother and a teacher in life ..she brought so much joy to my life and inspired me to do many great things ..I am honored that she was my mother .. I remember many times when i needed advice and she would steer me in right direction . When a family member or friend needed help she was always there .. Threw life mom would tell me things about life and it didn't make sense then but as i grew older i started to see and understand the things she told me ., i ask why she had to leave this earth so soon ? when i need her with me , but i realize when god calls you must answer ...God doesn't make any mistakes ...I miss her smile and laughter , what i would give to have one more min / day with her ..I miss sitting on the edge of her bed talking with her .. I can't thank her enough for the all gifts and talents she instilled in me .. Rest in peace ...There is no greater love than a mothers love !!
I love you mom !!!
