Fond memories of Donna tolerating noisy games of billiards and ping pong in her basement on Deer Park, working with her at Kmart, and seeing her and Rosemarie at the Grand. My condolences to Ted, Jim, John and Kathryn.

When one hears of the passing of a loved one a feeling of intense sadness envelops; such was the case today when I heard of Donna's death. Death seems so final but is in reality, only a segment of our being on a journey - what has been and what is to be. Donna was my closest link with my husband's family and I valued our relationship as sisters-in-law. RIP Dear One.
I worked with Donna many years ago as a high school student and we have managed to keep in touch all these years (40+). I know what a loss this is to the family and I will hold you all in my thoughts and prayers. She was a wonderful lady and I will cherish my memories of her forever. She hasn't gone - she's just gone on ahead.
Aunt Donna was a very special lady who will never be forgotten. Love to all her family that she loved so much, and who took such good care of her. "Mourn not the cocoon, the butterfly has flown".
