I miss you so much..my friend, my sister n law, my shopping buddy and Christmas will always be a special reminder of when we would bake cookies and candies for days!! Oh and lets not forget our many days watching the Hallmark Channel the 1st day all the new Hallmark Christmas movies came out… Or over the past 3 years all our time we spent at Md Anderson fighting the good fight…and still finding time to explore the hospital and its many gift shops especially the one that sold children’s art all done by pediatric cancer patients. I will always and forever remember our good times… And all the laughs we had!! POPCORN!!

Donna was a wonderful friend. She was the first close friend I had when I moved to Springfield at 10 years old. We were best friends and I cherish those memories. We lost track of each other over the years but I was fortunate to reconnect with her a few years ago. It was like time hadn’t changed and we picked up where we left off. I wish I could have spent more time with her as adults. I will miss her greatly! I will miss her beautiful smile and wonderful personality. My condolences to Donna’s family.

Condolence from Vickie Williams Ellison on October 4th, 2017 10:27 am

To All I am so sorry my Heart and Prayers are with you all.

Condolence from Becky cullers on October 6th, 2017 10:04 am

I cannot express enough sympathy to Donna’s family, especially her mom and siblings. I knew Donna and fam during childhood and remember her big laugh, her diving into our pool, her long curly hair. I can still see her face as she knocked on our door for Beth, my sister, to play. I’m amazed the family has remained so tight despite distance.
Hugs to Barb and kids.
Cabbage Patch friend. SPFLD
