I too decided to look up Donna- we worked together when the twins were born. I often think of her and that smile and sense of humor, fierce loyalty and her amazing pregnancy and birth. She was full of love and a strong character--so down to earth. I am sorry we lost touch---but she will always shine in my heart. Rest in peace sweet friend.

I was thinking of Donna lately and thought I would look her up. Very sad to hear she passed away. Donna and I worked together at Capitol news back in the 70's. She and I were very close friends back then. We did EVERYTHING together back then. She was loads of fun and after work we would just ride around and go places. We would eat, shop and just talk. We talked a lot. I would go over to her mom's often. Rose was the best cook. I remember her making home made sausage and her pizza roles were the best. Of course I knew Tiffany and Sharon.
Tiffany was darling. I meant you kids once in the early 90's but we never kept in contact after that. I guess our lives went in different directions.
I'm very sorry your mom isn't here and hope you have great memories of her. I do.
Very truly yours,
Karen
