Donna was one of the most special people I knew. She was always upbeat and exuded happiness. She knew no stranger and loved people and animals. Donna especially loved her son Patrick, her husband Dan and sister, Janet.

Whether you were a family member or friend, she made you feel special. She was and still is a bright, shining light, and is missed here on earth, but will always be in our hearts.
