I didn't know your mom, Kurt....but saw the love in your eyes as you spoke of her, and offer sincere condolences....

Donna was such a nice lady . She loved and protected her son and her grandchildren . She was a sharp business woman. I am glad I got to know her over the years . Blessings to you and your family Kurt .

Donna was my buddy.  We shared the same irreverent sense of humor, and we looked at life the same way most of the time.  We shared a love of movies and plays, and restaurants.  I miss her so much and it is strange to not be able to pick up the phone to call her when I see something I think she should know about because it will make her laugh.  I miss her wisdom, which saved me a bunch of times.  I miss my friend and my heart hurts.

Donna was one of a few of the most important people in my whole life.  She took me in as a renter about 30 years ago... and we became so close we decided I was the daughter she didn't have... and she was a mother to me and I will miss having her to turn to when I need a friend.  God Bless her and Kurt and Eric. If I am lucky enough to make it to heaven, I hope to find her there waiting for us. The classiest, most wonderful person I have ever known. Love you forever Donna xxoo  R.I.P.

Donna and her son Kurt hired me to help take care of Kurt's children about 7 years ago!!  We became very close and loved her like she was my own Grandmother.  Lots of precious memories of her and she will be truly missed. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
