The funeral was beautiful with all the grandchildren memories and family talks. She was so beloved by so many and anyone who can redecorate a Relief Society room will be welcomed on the other side. I told Donna a number of times that she was my "angel." She befriended my daughter and included her in her Monday evening activities, when my daughter was quite new to the ward. It made a huge difference in her life and was an answer to my prayers. I would never be able to repay her action except by following her example in my neighborhood. If ever there was a "tender mercy" at that time to our family it was Donna. I wish I had known her better because so many of the things she loved I loved. Thank you all so much! Thank you Donna! You have earned your spot!

Hi: Jeanne, Carolyn, Craig and Scott:  I watched the service on Zoom as I had been sick the previous 3 weeks with a cold and cough.  It was a beautiful service.  I loved all of your thoughts and especially loved the Grandchildren's remembrances.  So endearing, funny and sad.
Donna was someone I could talk to about anything.  Sometimes we would talk an hour or so on the phone.  She always dressed so beautiful, looked way younger than her years and acted it too!  She always said "if I want to feel good about my cooking just ask Marilyn as she thinks each meal is the best she has ever had,!  But that was the truth!  She  was everything, and she loved her kids and grandkids more than life itself.  We talked about them and their current ventures during our Monday Nights.  It was also so fun to have John, and one of the boys join us.  Such wonderful memories.
She had us all feel like a wonderful family since we had none in LA.  Love to you all.  If you need anything, please do not hesitate to call me.
