I am very sorry for the loss of your Mother, Grandmother and Sister.  Donna was a very spirited, vibrant person that I enjoyed not only working with, but, also getting to know outside of work. My thoughts are with you. And Donna will always be a special memory for me.

It was an honor to know Donna.   Throughout all the interactions that I have had with her, she was a stone trooper.  Every effort to make her life and her children’s lives better was a constant goal for her.  She was a persistent fighter and never gave up trying to achieve her goals.  She was a very dedicated and caring person towards her children and to others.  She had a very humble spirit and would not hesitate to help someone in need.  The world was blessed to have her in its bosom.  I am truly going to miss her and I wish all the best for her mother/father, her children, family and friends.  May God comfort you and give you strength through this hard time of losing someone so beautiful and special
My prayers are with you.
