Wayne and I were very sad to hear of your passing. Especially sad because I was unable to visit you these past few months. We had so many fun times playing bridge with you, Frank and John. You were a beautiful person and I’ll miss our visits and phone conversations. God speed, love Wayne and Suzanne

I just wanted to say donna was the most amazing person I have ever met. I loved every moment I had with her. I worked at wellsprings where she lived and I remember one time I was in there seeing how she was her son was asking her if she wanted mcdonalds and I said i would take a big Mac and she was going too i said no. She always cared about me. When I went in there we would talk forever. I will miss her dearly and I loved her like she was my own family. If the family needs anything let me know.
