Mama,
Words can never express the pain I feel. I love you and miss you so much. It's so hard to believe that I will never see those beautiful blue eyes again in this world. You always had the sweetest kisses. I will miss you so much but I will never forget you.
Love, Donna Kay Head McCaw

Moma, I miss you so much. I miss your hugs, sweet gently kisses, our fun and laughs. Anytime we were together we were laughing or smiling about something you said or did. Im lost with out you. I feel like theres no where to go for support or loving advice. Maybe a little compliment or two. I know one thing me all of your kids are going to miss our best friend and our little cricket. Most of all we'll miss your sweet smile, our outings and just being with you. My heart will forever be broken but I now know that its Donnies time to be with his precius momma and daddy. You will always be in our memories. I will love you always... love, Karen

Donna,
We want you and your family to know that we are thinking of all of you! May you all know that God makes no mistakes and Mr.Terry was ready for his sweety pie to come home! Try to find comfort in the fact that Elmo is walking on the streets of gold breathing in the heavenly dust off the wing of an angel.
With Lots of love!
Nikki & William Harbert

Donna and family,
From the first time I met your Mom, she made me feel like she knew me forever. Everytime I saw her she told me how "beautiful" I was but in-turn she was the beautiful one!! I know you will miss your Mom and Dad more than words can say, but you have years of cherished memories that can never be taken away. I hope you can find comfort in knowing your parents are with the Lord watching over you from above. God Bless you!!

What a treat it was to stay over with Aunt Eleanor & family. She was a real joy to be around and her memory lives on with her love of life with the many smiles she put on my face and many others. God be with the family and give them peace knowing that she is sitting at the feet of Jesus, with her baby boy & husband & so many other family membors. I know she's cutting up and making people smile. Love you all, Sissy, Chip, Carrie, Caleb & Courtney Senn
