Donna was just like a sister to me and I miss her dearly everyday!!! It helps me to know that she is not suffering anymore and I look forward to seeing her again some day.

Donna was a dear close friend of mine and her friendship has been so important to me. She and Tommy are more like family to us than friends (the good kind of family, not the crazy kind!).
I am honored to have been her friend, blessed to have the opportunity to get to know her. She had the kindest heart of anyone I know. She was generous in all that she did, and I loved her for it. I treasure our visits on their porch after work, the years of golf and laughter, road trips to the coast, and her ear when I needed it. She helped me more than she could ever know.
Donna was true to herself and cared more for others happiness than her own. She was the first to offer help if someone needed it, and was always happiest when she could do something for someone else rather than herself.
The world has lost a great soul, but the lives she touched while she was with us are so greatly improved by having known her.
Tommy, you are in my heart and prayers. I am so sorry for this loss. We are here for you and love you so very much.

Tommy I know what you are going through, having just gone through it last month. I handled it by knowing that my love one was now healed after her battle. I will keep you in my prayers.
