I am so very sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I have not seen her for many years, but we were very good friends when we worked together at the State's Attorney's Office. She was a beautiful girl. Always so thoughtful and sweet. My heart is broken for all of you. May God bless her and your entire family.

Kus & Valskis Family:
There are no words I can offer to ease the pain in your heart. I am truly blessed to have known Donna practically all my life (23 years out of 27) being Audrey and I are best friends. I can remember when Audrey and I were little girls how we always looked up to Donna, and wanted to be just like her. She had the best bedroom, clothes, shoes and was always so beautiful! I can remember her always giving us 50 cents a piece on hot summer days when we would come out of the pool so we can go get ice cream from Pete’ s Custard.
Just remember Donna is in a peaceful place now and is an angel watching down on all of you. She was such a loving person and will forever be in my heart.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Sincerest condolences from the Valskis family of Prospect Heights.
(Son of Stephen Valskis - deceased - formerly of Northbrook, IL.
Since there are only a handful of
"Valkis" in the whole USA, my husband thinks that Donna Valskis must be a relative that he didn't know.

Mr. & Mrs. Kus, Laura, Ricky, Karen, Robbie & Audrey,

I was so very sorry to hear of Donna's passing. There are no words of comfort to be offered that would lift the terrible sadness you must feel. Hold on to your happy memories. With time that terrible ache in your hearts will lighten and those memories will see you through.

Love Liz
