Donna's memory and legacy will be one of the sweetest people you will ever have the privilege to meet and be around, I never heard a mean word come out of her mouth or ever hear her talk badly of anybody. You would have to say she is sweetness and honesty personified, and made some of the best holiday cookies and goodies that you could ever hope for. Rest in peace Donna the world will certainly be a sadder place to live without you .


I remember the first time I met Donna, she and my dad had just gotten married and I was meeting my step-mother for the first time.  I immediately loved her!  She was kind to me, straightforward, and loved my dad.  She always made me feel welcome in their home... I remember the summer I came to stay with them,  they were getting ready to sell their home, and she was up early making chocolate chip cookies to help the house smell homey.  For some reason, that really stuck with me over the years.  What a brilliant idea!  

Over the years, as my relationship with my dad became more strained, my visits became more and more infrequent, but every time I was in town, Donna's kindness towards me never wained.   I grew to not only love her very much but also respect and admire her.  We always seemed to have an intuitive understanding between us.  

Our last visit was a year or so after dad passed away... we sat in her kitchen and did a lot of catching up, and for all that was said,  there was so much more communicated between us that went unsaid.   

I could not have asked for a better stepmother!  Donna, your memory will always be in my heart... 

Bobby & Denise... I'm so sorry I cannot be there in person, but I will definitely be with you in spirit!
