Memorials appreciated to the family, who will donate them to a cancer society in Donna's honor. She always had a warm smile for everyone, and loved her family more than life itself. We are sad to see her leave our lives, but are also happy for her new journey with God. Our thoughts will always be with her as she watches over everyone she loved. We will sadly miss you and we will always love you as you did all of us.
