I feel Very saddened to hear Donna’s passing, especially at such a young age. We had a great time working together. The fond conversations and pictures we had were very precious memories. We planned to have another catchup in the fall and I never thought it would never happen. She will be missed! Rest in peace, Donna!
Shocked and saddened to hear of Donna’s passing. We have many fond memories of Donna, and I am sure that Mom and Myrtle enjoyed her visits to see them at the Agnes Pratt Home. So young and gone too soon! Rest in peace, Donna.
Never imagined losing our friend so suddenly but will
certainly miss her phone calls, having her for dinner,and
off course enjoying her company at Christmas. She had
a soft heart and always cared about the less fortunate.
She loved life so much and always looked forward to
warmer weather in Florida. She had wonderful circle of
friends that helped her through difficult days.
Delighted that her friend Janet made it home as Donna
spoke of her often. May she rest in peace, always knowing
she was well loved.
Aunt Mary & Uncle Paul
Janet I’m so sorry for the loss of your best friend. In time, I hope all the beautiful memories you shared will bring a smile to your face and mend your broken heart.
Very sad to hear of Donna’s passing. I was a Telegram colleague.. She and I often spoke about her love of Florida., both the sun and shopping. She was a wonderful person with a kind heart. The world needs more Donna’s, not less. Rest in peace, my friend.
She was a great work friend. And party with her a few times. May she rest in piece. Gp
