Donna lives on everyday through her son Bobby! I am blessed to have known Donna through our Church Sacred Heart where I am the Youth Director. 
Donna as well as her beautiful children have always been such positive, happy, kind people. As well as her husband Robert. Such a humble family. I know Donna is looking down from Heaven at her children and are so proud of who they are. Donna and her family are in my daily prayers and thoughts .
Blessings,
Janice Schubert

Here i am 2 years later, thinking of you and remembering, like i do every day. You were in my dream last night. That makes me happy. Frodo was there too. I often remember when we were young, listening to Mommy's old 45's on our Mickey Mouse record player. Lol. Wish we could go back there for 1 day. Of course that wouldn't be long enough. 
I miss you like crazy every day. 
All my love,
Debbie

In Loving memory of the strong, lovely friend, who are forever present in our hearts.
God's Blessing to her beautiful family  "Little Bobby", Kelly, Katie, Bob and her parents Jim and Madelyn give all the strength during this difficult times.

It was an honor to have known Donna. What a “fighter”, so strong, never complained. Always had a smile on her face and such a positive attitude. Loves her family with all her heart. 
May God Bless her wonderful 
and incredibly kind hearted children: Bobby, Kelly and Katherine with strength during this most difficult time.
Peace and God’s Blessings to her gracious and equally kind hearted husband Robert, parents Jim and Madelyn, her brother James, and sister Debra. 
In Christ,
Janice Schubert
Sacred Heart Catholic Church
Youth Director



My condolences Bob and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss.

So SAD to hear about Donna!  R.I.P.  I only met her a couple times at Emerald Society events, through the awesome Bobby G.  My whole family (all Cops) are up at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in E. Hanover, so I felt a little better knowing that's where Donna will be, because its full of wonderful people. My condolences to Bobby & Family.  :(  

Donna is survived by her husband of 25 years, Robert Gilsenan; parents: James and Madelyn Howlett Sr; son, Robert James Gilsenan; 2 daughters: Katherine Gilsenan and Kelly Gilsenan; brother, James Howlett; sister, Debra Howlett; and a host of extended family and friends.
