Thinking of Mama Hojohn today - I remember when she took Katarina and I up to Boston. I´m grateful to have experienced her support and kindness through the years! Donna was an incredible person - thoughtful, loving, genuine. I´m lucky to have known her, and she is so very missed. Ryan and I send our love to Katarina and her family

My sincere sympathy goes to her two sisters, Michele, Tami and their families. I´ve known Donna mostly thru my daughter-in-law Michele. I´ve had the pleasure to learn on one past Thanksgiving Day just how much she treasured cooking for a large group to gather. No detail to flavor was ever overlooked. And thru the endless prep there were many smiles and exchange of words that you could guarantee that making that meal, was not work, but an act of love. She had such a positive attitude that reflected from her and was such a good feeling on a holiday as such. I know her family will miss her. I know she will be remembered by many forever as she has touched so many lives.
