Aunt Donna was one of my favorite aunts–sweet, kind-hearted, and cared about everyone. I have a lot of memories from the time I was 5yrs old until now. We will always love you and could never forget you…… Love, Diane and Mike
I remember the nickname that I had for Aunt Donna and she used to laugh…”Shorty”. She will be greatly missed and loved!!!
My fondest memory of Aunt Donna is all the good times playing cards with her and me calling her “Bones”. She will be missed greatly by all those who knew her!
Granny, I love you. Remember when I would always get in trouble for geting into your cookie jar. I still remember how good it smelled when you were baking and making easter lolly pops. You were the best granny there was. I remember when me and TT went downstairs just to snoop around. You always had the best stuff in the basement. So much has changed since you left us. I’m not even aloud going to your house anymore. I love you granny. Look out for me up there. Rest in Peace. <3 your grand daugher Nikki
