God blessed me when he let me have you as my sister-in-law. I will always remember you as a wonderful sister-in-law that was always there for my Jeanne and I when we needed you most. Now God has two beautiful Knapp Angels in his heavenly kingdom.

Sending my sincere sympathy to Donna's family. We attended Midland grade school and Franklin Pierce together. Over the years we lost touch...but I will always remember her gentle spirit.

Aunt Donna you were a wonderful godmother. I will cherish my Christmas village and always think of you when I light them up every year. I still have all of the wooden items you painted for me over the years, I especially love the hand mirror and smile every time I see the "Donna Lee" signature. Thank you for your smiles and laughter. I know you loved to collect angels - and now God has a new angel in heaven!
