So sorry for your loss. God gained another angel. May you find comfort in God. Prayers and thoughts for all the family.
Rest in Peace Donna. Our prayers are with all of you as you mourn the loss of this special lady. Loved her newspaper columns and her sense of humor. We'll miss her.
Shari, Brent, Brad and Families: We are so sorry for your loss. I will miss corresponding with your mother but I am happy for her that she is free from her pain and suffering. She is with her Lord and your dad and other loved ones. What a celebration is going on in Heaven and, oh the music...she's playing the piano again. Y'all are in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, sweet Donna.
Donna was one in a million! I will miss her so much. I will continue to pray for strength for Brad, Shari, Brent and their families.
Many good memories of camping with Jim and Donna. She was always happy and we had many laughs.
Mom was an amazing woman and will be missed for many years by so many people. Generous to all and a Christian person throughout. I know some day I will see her and dad again.
Oh, Donna, Donna was a member of our church and I always told her how I enjoyed her music on the piano - as she played beautifully, it was such a joy to listen to her magic fingers. Donna had a wonderful sense of humor and laughter came easy, I was often with Donna in the choir room laughing as we were the last to put our robes on the hangers, sharing silly laughter. I just knew Donna would get better. I hate to learn that she has left the earth, I will miss her funny little notes that she has sent to me in the mail. Donna shared her talents here on earth - and I know her music and laughter are ringing in the halls of heaven. Maybe her magic music fingers will play the harp now, she would laugh at that!! :) We offer our heart-felt condolence to Shari, Brad, Brent, grandchildren and Bob

Shari, Brent, and Brad, I send my deepest sympathy to all your family on the loss of your mother. She was a sweet, wonderful lady. She had been part of my life since we were classmates at Flora High School. She was so bright and witty even then, and it continued throughout her life.
