Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. My heart is grieving for each of Donna’s family members and friends. I’ve never known someone who loved more deeply or cared more passionately about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so honored to have met and loved Donna and to have shared a small piece of her life. I pledge my best efforts to emulate her love for people and her zest for laughter.
    ~ Until we meet again, Donna, hopefully as neighbors in Heaven
