I worked with Donna for 22 years at Esam until her retirement, after which we continued our friendship. She was a mentor at work and always a friend, and I will miss her greatly. My deepest condolences to Larry, Ted, Dawn and Danielle, she was so very proud of all of you.
She made her home a haven to those she held dear to her heart. Her kindness and gentle, loving spirit will be remembered by all that knew her. Sympathy and prayers to everyone who is grieving the loss of this beautiful woman. Greg, Jan, Ryan & Nancy
Donna was one of those people who always made you feel special when in fact she was the "special one". It's with great sadness that we say good-bye. She will be sorely missed by us, but never, ever forgotten. Love to all her family. Belinda and Mike.
Donna, What can I say, from our many outings to the beach, card games, lunches and of course our little casino trips... It all won't be the same without you. Your cheerful demeanor always present and your arms and heart always open, never judging... I will miss you immensely.. love you dearly ... cousin Lynda
Aunt Donna will be missed by all who ever knew her... She was a great person to know and was especially kind to our daughter Crystal. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time. Brad and Cathy Beaudoin
We will miss our cousin Donna and our wonderful visits. Lovely lunches with great conversation and laughs...truly special "cousin times" where we were kept up to date on other family members we have less contact with. Donna was truly the thread linking the Ming family. We will miss her so very much, Bev, Marilyn, Linda and families
Cousin by chance, friend by choice. Much loved and sorely missed. It's with a heavy heart we send you on your journey. Love Midge & Clem
I live at 120 Cherryhill Place and Donna was a good friend. She was a very kind and caring woman. My sincere sympathy to her family.
Some of my happiest childhood memories were created in Forest, spent with Danielle and Donna. I was very saddened to hear of her passing, and will keep her in my thoughts. Condolences to Danielle, Ted, and Marg, and the rest of the family. Thinking of you all during this tough time. xo Jen Paliwoda
