Nana, You were the best Nana ever. I miss our fun times baking. I Love You and Miss You ever day. Love Abby

Nana, I love you and miss you so much. You are the best Nana ever, I miss the fun times we had baking, but mostly I miss you. I Love You very much, Love Abby

My deepest condolences to the family members of Donna. Donna was a sweetheart in my 1961-1962 Cascade Elementary 6th grade class in Marysville. And those dimples I will never forget. As a teacher there are some students you never forget as time passes and she definitely is one of those. She left us too soon, but we are all better for having had her in our lives.

Donna was a childhood friend.  I remember her for her honesty and what a caring person she was.  I will never forget that smile and those beautiful dimples.

Donna was such a sweat Lady every time she came into Haggen's In Marysville. She was a joy to visit with. God Bless her and her family.

Donna may you rest in peace. we miss you and love you. We will never forgot all the great memories we shared with you. Brenda we are so very sorry for your loss you are in our prayers. Please take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I did not get to know Donna long enough but I loved the person I did get to know! I will miss her forever and wish the family peace.

I only met Donna once and that one time was a memorable one.  From that first and only meeting I referred to her as Aunt Donna.  My thoughts and prayers go out to Uncle Frank and family.

Of course I will always remember Donna's smile. I loved our chats when I was young- she always had a story or words of wisdom to share.  Donna was a loyal friend to those she loved and she passed this trait to her daughter, my best friend Brenda. I am so thankful for this. I know she is hanging out with Elvis- the real one, not the velvet one and her body is whole and free of sickness.  Frank, Brenda and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in your memories of the times you shared with her. You're in my prayers.

Donna was a great friend and a very special person. So caring about others and never complained when she wasn't feeling herself. She always shared great stories that would have us laughing with tears which we always enjoyed hearing. We will miss our special friend with all our hearts.

Donna:  Thank you for being such a wonderful friend, mother, wife, person.  You brought great joy to me, my family, and my Mom and Dad.  I so very much appreciated your humor and kindness, and I envied your dimples!  How blessed we all have been to know you.  It's been my absolute pleasure, Donna.  See you again down the road . . .

Donna,
You will be deeply missed by your son in law and your grandchildern and my wife (your daughter). You gave me the best thing in my life, Brenda. You were a very kind person and so thoughtful. We will miss the dinners and games. 
Love, Marty and kids
