To Donna’s loving family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as, with hearts full of sadness you experience the passing of Donna.
I know that Donna believe with all her heart that God was in control of her life. Her battle with cancer was fought openly and with incredible faith. She relied on the prayers of others and believed in the power of those prayers. Her life was a testimony of her faith and belief in God.
Donna has touched each one of us in different ways and left her imprint on our hearts. We will miss her smile and her courageous spirit.
much love to you all,
Garth and Lorraine

Dear Donna,
that was a kick when we caught on to her by saying things that were untrue. But we never let her know that we knew. There are so many things we did together - we did what a lot of friends could not do - if one of us was not doing something acceptable, you or I would step up and make the other accountable, you made me realize true friends don’t walk away from their problems, we can solve them together.
I still remember the day we met you had just turned 21. I was starting a new job and no one wanted to talk to me or befriend me. On my second day at work you approached me and asked if I had some time and if we could talk. We got together that night and for the next 26 years our friendship blossomed. We were there for each other thru thick and thin. We became roommates and lived together in several interesting places. Like on Hollenbeck, when the women next door pretended she was psychic but what she was really doing was listening against our shared wall with a glass and then when she would see us she would tell us that she wanted to tell our fortunes…
I remember the night you left for Texas, we stayed up ALL night talking, and how we would never ever tell each other goodbye, we would always tell each other “see you later!” And as the sun was rising you got into your car and moved onward to your life with the man you loved, Ronnie. You both worked together and formed a wonderful life, you gave birth to a beautiful son, Dusty. You and Ronny should be very proud, he is a fine young man.
While you were in Texas we still always made time to talk to each other and share advice.
I remember when Lily was born and you came to help me out that first week. I had never even baby sat before! You taught me how to hold her, change her, burp her, figure out why she was crying and to love her, you taught me how to be a good mother and I thank you.
I remember the time you came out here and we went horseback riding, I didn’t realize that the hill we had to go down was at about a 50 degree angle. I didn’t know until after the ride how frightened you were. You never said, stop I want to get off this horse! You rode on and when the ride was over, you told me you had never been so scared. You are such a trooper! I had no idea how panicked you were. Now that I know how panic feels, you got guts girl!!
When I found out you had made your decision that you wanted to be with God, I cried and was inconsolable - Lily, is now 6 - my precious daughter came to me and she said -
“Mom, life is like a rose. It starts out young and strong. But then the rose gets older, the petals start to curl, then they turn dark, and then they fall off. What you need to remember mom, is life is like a rose - after the life of the rose there are seeds and life will come again.
I love you Donna!

It was a joy to get to see Donna again at Amanda’s wedding! We visited and said if the Lord chose to heal her, we would all celebrate and thank Him. If he called her home first, we’d meet again in heaven and I would be looking for her to show me around! I know she’s in the presence of the Lord celebrating Thanksgiving each day and there is no more pain, no more death, no more tears. We continue to be here for Dusty and hold him in prayer as he experiences this loss. The Lord will comfort him and we all love him. We look forward to the day when we will all be together again!
Love, Lloyd and Jennifer Richardson (Tina’s sister-in-law and husband)

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is missing Donna now. I met Donna through scouts, when she and Dusty first joined cub scouts. We were acquaintances then, but it wasn’t until I was about to move half way around the world to Australia that we became friends. She was there for me when I needed her, because that is the kind of person she was. We kept in touch this past 5 and a half years, and I was so happy to get to see her in May. Her courage, faith and hope were incredible, an inspiration to anyone she met I’m sure. I wish I could be there, know that I am there with you all in thoughts and prayers from Australia. Love, Bonnie
