Nos plus sincères condoléances, nous sommes de tous coeur avec vous. On gardent de beaux souvenirs de Donna. Généreuse de son temps, elle était toujours prête à rendre service à quelqu’un et à ses voisins. Elle aimait partager ses connaissances de jardinage et m’a donné un bon truc pour conserver ma basilique, il n’y a pas si longtemps. Bon voyage chère voisine, bon repos Donna. Courage, Donna veille sur vous.

To Donna’s families and friends. My deepest condolences are sent to all. Donna and I started kindergarten together and finished school together. She had the most powerful smile and giggle. You will be missed! Kathy Cameron Bates

Dear Donna, I am so sorry to read of your passing into your next life, but am happy you are now free of the pain and terribleness of cancer. How you will be missed ... feels like such a kick in the gut that you had to leave us so soon.

It was such fun in school together, sharing a smile and a giggle as we learned, coped with whatever the world threw at us, and grew up. It was even more fun to chat about raising kids, and our families at the Fair. I wish your family comfort and peace, and a smile or two as they remember the joy. fun and kindness, you gave to all of us. Rest in peace, dear friend. Kim

Most sincere condolences at this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.

My deepest sympathy to the whole family. I have had so many fun and crazy times with Donna I will cherish those memories for ever ❤️

My deepest condolences to the family . Donna always had a beatific smile that radiated warmth , compassion , and love . Our paths crossed when , in my first year as music teacher at VCI , she played the string bass . Over the years we connected through her vocation as a trusted care giver . She , I am sure, has left a legacy of love . Only the best . To her legacy . Cheers !

Dear Donna, the first day that I met you at PCPS your smile lit up the room and your giggle was absolutely contagious. Over the next 50 odd years, that never changed. I am so grateful that we had brief moments to catch up and laugh at the fair in 2019 and 2009. Thankyou for bringing your laughter into my life. I will always remember it. Your smile will always be missed. Love Valerie Lanni (Brown). My condolences to your family.
