My sincere condolences to Tim, Skyler, Stony, Donnas Mother, her Grandchildren and the many family members and friends who are left to mourn her loss. I was fortunate to meet Donna many years ago when she worked with my Daughter at Cedarleaf. I couldn't get over how she greated me with smiles, laughter and warm feeling like I had known her all my life and we were best friends. Later I had the luck to get to know Donna closer as I worked with her and got to know some of her family. She was the most soft-spoken,caring, big hearted, helpful, workaholic, generous to a fault person I have ever known. I know my life is better because of having her in it and I know Heaven is being enhanced by her sweet personality and beauty and I know we will meet again someday. I only wish I had got one more hug

My sincere condolences go out to Tim, Skyler, Stony, & Kristen and all of Donnas large family left to mourn her. I met Donna many years ago when she worked with my Daughter at Cedarleaf and I was so impressed by this open, friendly, smiling person who made you feel like she knew you all her life and now you were on her "best friend" list forever. Later on I had the fortune to get to know her better and even work with her. My life is the better for having her as a special friend and now Heaven is being enhanced by the warmth and love she has brought with her. Rest in peace dear Donna. You are missed so very much down here. Wish we could have shared one last hug.

I still can not get over that this beautiful soul is gone. It pains me to know I will never see her again or her smile and hug whenever I stop in where she worked. I will never forget the 5 years I got to know her working together at Cedarleaf. You will never know how many peoples lives you touched Donna or what you meant to all of us. I know you are resting easy now my friend. My prayers and heartfelt sympathy to Tim, her children and all her family.
