My thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones of Donna. She was a spectacular person and her loss cannot be described. I will miss her terribly but I take comfort knowing she created 2 beautiful kids, Sarah & Travis, who will carry part of her beautiful spirit with them. I also know somewhere she is driving her old VW convertible bug with the radio blaring and smiling with the sun on her face. This makes me smile as her smile always did. We miss you Donna!

To Sarah and Travis,
May God hold you both close at this time. You were such wonderful children to your mother. She was always so proud of you both. Stay together in the little ways you can, text, email, skype, call, so you keep that special bond between you both. That will help you in the next days, weeks and months. Your wonderful mother lives on in your hearts forever and always! Daily, you will think of a little thing she did, or used to do, or say, and those moments are so special. We love you both.
