My memories of Donna will always be of kindness and love to all she knew. She had an inner strength and joy that radiated to all she came in contact with. She seemed to always have a smile on her face even as her memories failed her. Her love for her family flowed over in their lives as they cared for her. She was a wonderful example! I will miss her, but have those memories in my heart.
