My DEAR friends, I am so sorry for your loss--and a great loss it is. Momma Donna was one of the most beautiful women I ever knew, inside and out. The hours I spent talking to her were ones I'll treasure. She had so much wisdom and such a sweet spirit; she always made me feel good. DANCE AWAY WITH JESUS MOMMA!! I CAN SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE!!

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Donna, however, I consider her daughter Stephanie to be a dear friend. I admire Stephanie for her strength, love and devotion shown to her mother in this difficult period. I'm sorry for your loss.
