Donna was a bright light with a heart of gold and we will miss her dearly.
Donna was kind and generous and always ready with a hug even when stuggling with her own health issues. She will be forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.
Donna was such a sweet soul. Her and Arnie were the best neighbors we ever had. She was always willing to help out with babysitting our dog ,which in turn she got Pixie because of it. We will miss her so, I am so glad we got to see her a few weeks before her and Arnie went to Alaska. I know she is at peace . We will miss you Donna.
Love Steve and Deb Sandahl
Donna was the best friend you could ever have. For 2 years she sat thru chemo treatments surgeries and radiation. She was an amazing calming influence in my life. She will be greatly missed.
