knowing Donna for the last 28 years, she was a wonderful person. I always enjoyed our talks and drinking wine from a box. We will miss her smile and her wave on the way to the dog park.

I am so terribly saddened to learn today of Donna’s passing. When you two last visited and I held her hand as you were leaving, I had no idea that would be the last time I would see her. I cannot express how badly I feel for you. I will miss her.

February 18, 2018 at 7:35 pmDonna played a dual role in my life. She was a fellow faculty member at Villa Madonna Academy and she was my daughter’s 2nd grade teacher. I remember her to be warm and friendly and insightful. She guided my thinking regarding my daughter’s academic development on several occasions. I’m grateful that I got to know Donna and I’m very sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family as you face life without her. Thank you for sharing her with us! Sincerely, McKenzie Kemper

I’ll never forget the way she handled herself. So full of life and she always stayed so positive and funny in a way that made me forget that she was sick. She was so encouraging.

February 22, 2018 at 5:18 pmDear Floyd, Cindy and Kristie…
Donna was not just my next door neighbor, but also my dear friend. I will miss bumping into her at the mailbox, our Chinese lunches together and sharing our first glass of wine together in the new year. Before she became ill we used to share a laugh or two about her years as a “streetwalker”. She was such a familiar face/friend to all as she walked around the neighborhood with or without her dog. She made people happy. She made me happy. She always had an onion when I needed one and I always had one for her. I will miss her terribly, but keep her in my heart forever. Evan and I send our most profound condolences. If you guys ever need anything… (like an onion) just knock.
