Donna was a wonderful lady. She would refer to me as her surrogate daughter. Her family is very dear to me. They were all there when I needed it most. Donna loved to laugh and cut up with the best. All my memories I will cherish and will hold them close to my heart. She touched me and her memory will live with me forever.

Donna you will always be a part of my heart with very fond memories. I am pleased to be in touch with your family. The fun and joy we have spent as children was so remembered. We have talked and met a few times and that was so precious to catch up. The times we discussed about the love of the Lord was so loving. I will miss you dear friend until I see you again my love goes with you! I will keep in touch with your family and send them prayers!

I sooooo regret cancelling our trip to Mississippi to see Donna at her favorite casino ! She fooled both Kathy & I with her determination to get there..and by golly she did ! Donna, I so admire you and your husband. You both loved and lived life to the fullest; sharing that love and your faith – only one of your many strengths. You have a beautiful family. Married for 48 years… a toast to that..not many of our generation can brag about that. You will ALWAYS be loved and forever missed.
