I have so many great memories growing up with Donna. I'll always remember the jokes we played on Grandma Dungey and the shenanigans whenever we got together. You were my favorite cousin. My deepest condolences to Jack and the rest of the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss. I did not get a chance to sign the guest book when I was there on Sunday although I did get a chance to meet you all. May God bless you! I know that she is in heaven with her father. I have known the family since 1968 at Wyoming Ave. Christian Church.

Aunt Peggy, Jack, Tara and Tracie, I am so sorry for your loss. May Donna rest in peace. As a little girl, I always loked up to her. One of my fondest memories is serving as junior bridesmaid at her wedding. Donna will be saddly missed, but I know she is with Uncle Eddie now, looking down on all of us.

God bless you and your family at this very difficult time. Donna and I went to nursing school together and although we did not stay in close contact our paths crossed many times during the years. She was special and I will always remember her caring ways. Wondering why...but we must know she is now at peace. May all your memories give you consolation during this very difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Bernice Markowski

Jack, Tara, & Tracie,
Donna was one of the most magical people I have ever met. She loved you all so much. Even at the end of her life, she still was worried about how her family is and put others needs in front of her own.
She was a second mother to me and welcomed me into your mom. I'll never forget Donna and all the kindness she gave to the world around her.
Tara and Tracie, your mom loved you so much and wanted nothing more for you both to be happy. She held on so long and fought so hard because she wanted to make sure you both found happiness. Her life was "doubly" blessed when Jordan & Summer came into the world. She loved those two with all her heart. Although she will not get the chance to see them grow into adulthood, she will always be looking down on them, guiding them on the right course in life.
I thank you all for the chance you gave me to see her during her last days.
I will never forget all the memories "hangin' at the McCutcheon's"
and the love your mom showed me.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I'm taken back to the days we met in the MOA waiting room and I'm glad I got to know Donna even better at Camp. Even though she attended her first camp this past August, I knew she was a "braveheart all along".
