Donna will be greatly missed because of the joy and fun she brought to those around her. She was a bundle of energy and could make you cry from laughter with her quick wit and great story telling. She was beautiful inside and out and shared her OB tech skills with all of us who worked with her. I will miss you friend, soo much.
Sincere condolences to her family for their loss.

In the late 60's and early 70's, Donna's family and ours hung out together so much that I've always thought of her and her sisters as part of our family. We had a lot of good times then. The most memorable time of my life. Donna and her family always left a smile on my face. I've only had the opportunity to speak with a handful of times in recent years. Donna always allowed the sunshine to shine through. I'll miss you as you left a lasting impression upon my life. My condolences to my extended family. Yours truly, Brian and Debbie Breckles
