I am the sister-in-law of Sr. Mary Jo Schulte....and met Donna when she was a secretary at the Fransican Provinical Office. I talked to her on the phone often when Sr Mary Jo was on the leadership council...and she was always so GOOD to get messages to Sr. Mary Jo and/or help me when I needed help (this was during the time when my husband was sick). Jo forwarded me the news of Donna's death, and I just want to send my sincere sympathy upon her death.
