I just found out about Donna's passing by trying to locate her through the internet. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to Donna's husband and family. Donna was a wonderful and beautiful friend to me in high school; we went to Spain together our junior year and I shared so many great memories with her. I am just shocked and so very sad that she passed. May God rest her young soul.

I just heard of Donna's passing. My heart goes out to all of her family and friends. I knew Donna for only a very short time when we taught together. She made a difference. Sometimes it was hard to come in with a smile on your face, but Donna did. Every day.

Donna, words can't describe what you have ment to Laura and myself (also Stella). You will be missed and remembered for the person you were. You were always caring and willing to help out. The memories we both have of you will never be forgotten and we promise to have you live on in our stories. I only wish that we could have had more time with you to make some more. Please look over us and know that you were and always will be loved by many. Peace be with you Donna. Love you always, Steve & Laura Jaglarski

I am lost for words to describe the sadness and shock when I was told of Donnas passing. I lived across the street and grew up with Donna. I have many fond memories of playing football, wiffleball, shooting pool and watching her beat her brother in many of these games. She was always competitive and fun to be around. As a kid I spent endless hours sitting on the front porch in the summer telling stories, playing board games and listening to music with her and Mark. She loved spending time with her friends and family. My time spent with her and the Kobylinski family helped shape the person that I am today. She will be missed and will live on in everybody's memory.

We were shocked and saddened by the awful news of Donna's passing. We haven't seen her in a long time but we remember her as one of the sweetest girls we ever met who was always smiling. She will be deeply missed...Eric, all we can say is try to be strong and cherish all the memories forever.
