Mom...although I know that you are in a better place, I will miss you so much. I will always remember and cherish all our talks and the special secrets we shared with one another. I feel so blessed that I got the opportunity to spend so much time with you.Thank you so much for accepting me into your family with open arms. I will smile each time I bake cookies (remembering how much you loved them), and laugh when I think of all the witty things you would say. Heaven will be a brighter place now that you are there. I love you!!

My husband Vincenzo (Enzo) Vivona worked with Donna at Wood Revival for several years. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a wonderful woman and a good friend. I still have some beautiful flower arrangements she made for me years ago. My favorite gift she gave me was a clock she made for me when I opened my alterations shop; each numeral was a sewing item. I keep it in my office now and everytime I look at it I remember her. People always complement it and I say my friend Donna made it for me. She will always be in our hearts and we will miss her.

I was so shocked to learn of Donna's passing. She was a good friend to me and helped me when I was running the food banks. I really enjoyed her friendship and help. She always talked highly of her family.
