Her Journey is Over 11-19-08
I have dreaded this day since the day I typed my first entry on this webite for Donna. Sadly, Donna’s Journey ended last night after a very long fight to try and beat this cancer that had invaded her body. She was such a courageous soldier in her fight but always with a positive attitude. She loved all of you so much and appreciated everyone being there for her. I can’t tell you enough just how much all the cards, flowers, meals, phone calls, comments on the website and visits have meant to her. They all kept her positive and kept her fighting! But most of all, your prayers meant the world to her. It gave her the strength that she needed to keep fighting and keep going everyday.
Even though Donna’s Journey here on this earth may be over, Donna has just started on a new glorious Journey with our Heavenly Father where she is happy, healthy, and feeling no pain. This is a Journey that Donna has been preparing for and I know she is reaping her rewards now.
Please feel free to keep leaving comments here on this website as well. I know for many of you it may be a place to share thoughts about Donna or memories you want to share. Please keep checking back here for updates on the Memorial service times, etc.
Once again, my thanks and love to all, Tina

Hello from Donna’s sister Linda, I can only say “Thank You So Very Much” to all the people who have prayed and loved our Donna as we do. In her battle to overcome this cancer she has grown so close to God and has prepared herself for a better place where she will not be sick and have no pain. He is taking care of her for us now. It makes our hearts so much lighter to know that she is where she is. We may have felt at one point that the 2yrs that were estimated where not enough , but these last few weeks we could not have wanted her to go on being in pain. We are so thankful to God that she is no longer in pain and suffering with this cancer. She was such a strong little soldier, she fought so very hard, I have gained something in my life from her strenght. But she did it for God, Dusty and her family. She tried hard. Now we can take a breath and know that she is ok….Thank you all again, everyone of you that were there all along, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And to my sister Tina, there is no one like you in this world. You truly are an angel sent from above. I Love you all, Linda

My heart and prayers go out to all of Donna’s family, she was one of the kindest, sweetest, bravest people I had the honor of knowing and loving. The world will not be the same without her, she will be greatly missed.
She’ll forever be in my heart,

Do you remember when…..
We used to play all day
our faces lifted to the sunshine
Life was here today
Do you remember when
life was care free
and you were 10
the days lasted forever and even then
God was with us, Sundays we would pray
back then we didn’t know why but it would save our day
How about later, when ever we used to say please God Help me thru another day
God lowered his hand
gave us what he can
Left of us with community and joy
Left family for us to enjoy
Forever are our moments and our thoughts
Never regret our thoughts and our naughts

We are very saddened by the loss of this beautiful angel. She has always been an angel on earth as well as a strong soldier. I feel like many of us have become much stronger by knowing Donna. At the same time, we are so happy that she is out of her pain and in the loving company of many people she loved and of coarse our loving Father. Also a big thanks to all her church and work families who were there for Donna and Dusty. You made this tough journey much easier. I agree with Linda’s statement above.
Tina, you are truly an angel sent from above and I know Donna is very proud of you and was comfortable at the end because she knew you were there taking care of things. Our prayers will continue in hopes that Dusty, Ronnie, and all Donna’s family and friends can heal. Love to all, Jan, Hunter and Justin Martin
