We miss you, Donna. You taught us so much as our mentor at the college! You were a dear friend to me all my years at USC. I still remember all the funny stories you would pass along and we’d laugh for days! Safe travels old friend.
With our deepest sympathy to all the family of Donna at this time of sadness.
Our prayers and thought go with you all. May the Lord give you strength and comfort in the days ahead.
I loved being one of Donna’s “Angels”. She was always kind to me. We had lots of great conversations. We had a lot of laughs together also! She had a wonderful sense of humor, she was generous, and caring. Everyone who loved her are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sandy and family, I am sorry to hear of your mothers passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Donna was a special person to me at CSU-Pueblo. She assisted the music department in so many ways. She was so helpful and cheerful. God bless her soul.
