I have so many wonderful memories of Donna - and will cherish them forever!!! She was blessed with the best daughter in the world, and will live on through her, her boys and her wonderful grandchildren. You will be missed!!! This is the "MOTTO TO LIVE BY" that she shared with me. "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Beer in the other, body thoroughly worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride". Love you

My sincerest condolences to the family of Ms. Donna. May you take comfort in the words at Revelation 21:3,4, which promises a time when "death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore." God will surely fulfill this promise and comfort you during this difficult time.
