Donna was one of my best friends. I had not heard she passed away until now. I am beyond shocked. I just knew I had not had a letter in a long, long time. I am so sorry I was not around for any service that may have taken place. I have many memories of slumber parties and good times. We stayed friends for many years and I knew her husband and daughters well. To her remaining family, I am so sorry. I have lost two of my sisters and am very familiar with the pain. Please treat yourselves well and think of her fondly. Rest well, my friend.

Donna was one of my best friends during high school. She accepted me for who I was and helped me through some hard times. That friendship continued well after high school. I, like Sue, was shocked to find out about her passing. I had not received a letter for awhile and the last 2 I had sent came back with no explanation. She was a dear lady and friend and is missed. Rest in Peace my dear friend!
