I am so sorry to hear of this sweet lady’s passing. I had known Donna since third grade. My prayers are with the entire family.
I owe you more than you could ever know Donna. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be here today! You’ve been a second mom to me my entire life and will miss you so much. So many wonderful memories! Thanks for being their for mom all these years as well. You are truly one of a kindest and most one of the most genuine people I have ever met. You will be sadly missed!
Love you always!!
Till we meet again….
I am sorry for your loss. Words cannot express the pain felt when a loved one passes away. My prayer is that you may find comfort in the Bible. Psalm 46:1 says: “God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress.”
Fond memories of Donna will never fade. Thank you for your friendship and service on earth. Heaven has found a very special lady to help carry on much needed work, and Angel Donna will give her all.
So very sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now and always. May Donna’s be eternal.

It breaks my heart to see such a beautiful person who has so much to give to friends, family, and strangers leave this earth. She is now living among the Angels
