I'm honored to have known Donna even for such a short time, but even in that short time I saw a vibrant, beautiful, caring, honest and sincere person who opened so many hearts and minds in her wake. The lessons she taught her family and friends will live in those hearts forever and the loss will be felt for the rest of our lives. For now though, lets celebrate the joy and love Donna gave to all that were fortunate enough to know her. Donna please pray and watch over your beautiful family. You will most certainly be dearly missed.
