I miss you Mommy! My heart is breaking! One month ago today  you and Daddy were ripped from my life! I miss your beautiful smile and tender kisses. I know you are with Daddy And Jesus! But there is a deep hole in my heart! I love you Mommy!

Donna Jo was my dear first cousin and friend. Many precious memories flooded my mind knowing her for almost 70 of her 75 years---playing together as kids, watching her through life. She was truly a special child of God and showed it in so many many ways. When you think of her remember what she believed in and how she showed what she believed. I know that she and Ron have their reward!

Donna was a very dear friend.  She will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.  I have no doubt that she and Ron are in heaven right now and I will get to see her one day myself.

This ladies love and beautiful smile has always made me feel special no matter where I was at,  weather at church, her home, or running into her in town. She was a wonderful example of what a Christian lady should be. She will truly be missed. My love goes to her family and my wonderful friend her daughter , Lisa...Love ya

Such good memories of Donna and Ron when I was a teenager.  Hanging out at their house.  Seeing them at church. They were wonderful examples of Godly people. They will be missed.  Prayers for the family.

Donna,  I had the pleasure of being your daughter-in-law for 21 years.  You were an amazing example of God's love ( as was Ronnie)  and I will always be grateful for you both.   I know you and Ronnie both are safely home with Jesus and singing in the choir of angels !!. I'm sure Jesus took your breath away and I'm sure he had the kleenex ready for you :) .  I already miss you so much.  Until we see each other again, I'll always love you.

Donna Jo was a first cousin and one of the sweetest people we have known.  She was a beautiful Christian lady and we were blessed and inspired each time we talked with her.  We looked forward to seeing Donna Jo and Ron at our family reunion each year.  We loved them dearly and they will be greatly missed.  You have our deepest sympathy.  May God comfort you and grant you peace during this very difficult time.

 Donna Jo was one of my cousins. Though I didn't get to see her very often because we lived so far apart, she was always a delight to talk to. She'll be greatly missed, but she's in a much better place now.

Lisa, 
Although it has been decades since we have seen each other, I grieve with you over the loss of your parents. I will pray for comfort at this time and that God will give you peace in your heart.

The Pates were good friends to my family for over 60 years (my folks were with them when they got married). The last time I saw them was when my mom was in the hospital. They came to show the family support and love. That's what they were about. We will miss them both so very much.

Condolences to the entire family.  Donna was a wonderful lady who lived for God.   Our loss is God's gain.  She wiill be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your mom as such a loving and kind person. I'm so sorry she was taken from this earth so tragically. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lisa, 
Nancy and I are so sorry to hear about Ron and Donna.  It seems like yesterday your Dad was in Black Lumber telling me they had moved and loved it.  I always enjoyed talking to him when he was in.  They were such special people who touched everyone they came in contact with.  Forever in our memories.

Janet Lyle

Thank you Aunt Donna for being such a good friend to my mom over the years.  We loved  it when you all came to visit us in San Diego.  You loved to go to La Jolla to look at the ocean.  I will always remember your giggle.  Rest in peace auntie.  Love, Charisse
