Donna was a great woman whom I had the pleasure of hanging out with on several occasions. Her son and daughter-in-law are good friends of mine and my prayers are going out to them and their family during this difficult time. God bless!

As many of you probably know, Donna was my mother. She appreciates all of the kind words and any thoughts you put toward my Stepdad and family are also appreciated. An obituary with all of the funeral arrangements will be in the paper tomorrow.
Thank you again,

I have so many memories of Donna. Some of them silly, some of them warm and fuzzy, and some of them were just downright insane. She was an amazing influence on my life.
I will miss you Donna.
I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with all of you.

Weedle was my beloved “little sister”, and I can't believe she is gone. I can't believe I'll never get to play Scrabble with her again. She was definitely the better player, but was always gracious about it, and made excuses for my losses. She is now with our mother, our father, and her twin brother, who passed away in 1986…may God bless her immortal soul—Edie

Its really heartbreaking to read this about Donna. I'm glad I was able to see her just a few weeks ago at my house. At that time she asked me when I would let her cook me dinner. Sadly I said “soon”.
She was a woman with a huge heart and I know she loved us all.
