Time has a way of getting away from us, but memories are forever. When I learned of Donna's passing, I fondly recalled our IC days & also the time we spent together while raising our little daughters. I still make the marinara sauce she taught me. Our lifes journey take us on different paths, but we cherish the people who shared special times, their laughter & hearts with us, & want their family to know how much they were cared about. May Donna's warm smile & unending love continue to surround you & in time may God's peace heal your broken hearts.

We were best friends so very long ago and then somehow went our separate ways. I've never forgotten all the fun times we had. We knew how to throw some great parties. I am glad you're suffering is over but you left us much too soon!
