Donna was a beautiful lady. She was a grandma to my daughter Cassie. I remember the first day I met Donna in June 2011, she told me she was going to fight this to the end and I’ll tell you she did just that. I have alot of great memories of the talks that I had with Donna, and the day her and Butchy came out to the lake while we were camping for the day, she loved the sunshine and the water. Her loves was her husband & her daughter Misty. You are not hurting anymore Donna and someday you and me will have that vanilla milk shake! I love ya Della

I had the honor of being of service to Donna in the Cancer Treatment Center. She was such a pleasant person. We had a good laugh of her STAR name as well as an Uncle Chuck Norris, I believe. Blessings to the family.

Donna was a good friend to me and I don’t think she ever judged me. When I left the family she continued to think of me as her family. Its just sad that we lost touch. She has always been in my prayers and will continue to be… My thoughts and prayers go out to her loved ones.

Sweet woman, you will be missed. I enjoyed our chats. The world is a bit lonelier without You in it.
