I worked with Donna at Sweet Adelines and many church activities. She was a blessing to anyone you knew her. I was honored to call her my friend.

So sorry to hear about Donna. She was a great lady and a true one of a kind. I am so sorry I read the paper late or I would have attended her service. She and J were two of the finest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. Christie and Kellie and family are in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I remember her from Donna's notebook on channel 6 in the mid 60's. I always watched and enjoyed the shows and still have a recipe from the show. God Bless.

Christie and Kellie, so sorry to hear of Donna's passing and long bout with Alzheimers. While I was only in your lives for a brief time, there are many great memories which will always have a special place in my heart. Your mother was a very special lady with great compassion and love for others. Please know I am thinking of you and your families. I hope our paths will cross again one day. Best wishes and love, Kathy
