I was thinking of Donna recently and just found on Facebook that she had passed on. I am so sorry, she was such a beautiful young lady, so caring and bright. I always admired her when I had Jeff and Brett in my classroom so many years ago.

Donna was a wonderful person and touched so many people. We enjoyed the times that we saw her and loved talking with her. She reminded me of my Jewish heritage when we spoke (Jeff). God has taken an angel and brought her home.
