How can you not love someone who made you a Goddess? Thank you dear Donna, knowing you has added a great deal of love and happiness to our family. We loved your insatiable curiousity and genuine affection for everyone you met. I remember how you told me you were afraid to meet me and why and how we howled with laughter when you realized how silly that was. I loved you as a sister from the first time we met because Ray loved you and as time went on, I loved you just because you were so special. Rest in peace my dear friend. The Goddess and her B.C. family wish you were still with us but know you are too busy trying to start a heavenly bingo game. Go with God, sweet Donna.
Donna leaves with us her testimony of hope, courage and compassion. At our last meeting she was running the good race and putting up the best fight and believing she could overcome with the enduring spirit for life Donna embraced for herself, her family and friends. Even in the shadows of her valley, she encouraged others and shared in the interests for living a full life to what she was given. Donna was a big part of the Cooper clan and will be missed but also fondly and graceously remembered. Her beautiful spirit and smile will always be with those that knew her. Sending our thoughts and love to Ray and her family.
