Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Karla – I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My sympathy is with you and your family at this sad time. I know how hard it is to have to go on without a mother, my heart aches for you.
I lost a special friend when Donna passed away. I’ve known her for over 40 years, and always knew that she would be there for me anytime I needed her. Some times we wouldn’t see each other very often but the friendship lasted. I would hope everyone could be blessed with a friend like Donna. She will be truly missed by me and my family.
Sad to learn of Donna’s death. We became friends as children when we lived near each other on Osage street. In later years we saw each other from time to time at CSU reunions at at church in Caldwell. To her children: always know how proud she was of each of you and her Grandkids. She will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you. May God be with all of you. She will be truly be missed. Love to all of you.
Karla and Gayla, sorry to hear about your loss. Thoughts and prayers Nancy
When I think of Donna so many words come to mind. Loving, great sense of humor, peacemaker and always finding ways to hold the family together. She saved clippings out of the Caldwell newspaper about my sons understanding that sometimes Moms are so busy they fail to get that accomplished. She definitely loved her family and their friends. Have heard many of stories about her adventures with her kids and their friends and then when the grandkids came along she made lots of memories with them and their friends. Words can’t really express her great personality. She will definitley be missed. There is a big hole in our hearts but we celebrate a wonderful lady and her life.
