I don’t know why I visited Donas obit today I was pulled to it.  I remember telling Dona early  in our relationship that I could see us growing old together but not getting married.  She agreed, as our past marriages had not been the greatest.  Just a few months later we got married and it was the best decision I have made in my life.  Over the years we became one and I loved her dearly.

All of you 6 kids was  major part of my childhood[the summers were great]. to have to say goodby to Donna is very  saddening . I wish the best for you all.
Your cousin Chuck

Dona was my sister in-law. Dona was my brother David's rock.  She was always by his side and he loved her dearly. The laughter we shared when I came to visit will always be a fond memory.  I wish I could be there with the families.  I know that Dona will watch over David as she will her children and their families.  

Dona was a very charming person since the first time I met her. I had the chance to work with her for a couple of years during my fellowship training in infectious diseases in 2006. She was always willing to help me out, and to make my experience in training as smooth as possible, even bordering on pampering, which I know for sure was a reflection of her character. I still remember the graduation party she arranged, her love for her family, and her concern for the veterans that we have the opportunity to serve. My thoughts to her family. She will not be forgotten.

Dona always had a smile on her face.   I'll miss  our visits and her laughter!  She was a good neighbor & friend.   She would get mad at you, Ethan, but oh how she loved you!!  She's gone but resting in the arms of Jesus. 

Dona was our Administrative Assistant and Fellowship Coordinator in the Creighton University School of Medicine Section of Infectious Diseases when she retired.  Years later we still miss her expertise, dedication, service and loyalty. All of us who were fortunate enough to work with her loved her sunny disposition, her heartfelt compassion and her gift for mothering all of us: faculty, fellows, residents, and students alike.   In many ways she was the heart and soul of our ID Section.

Remember when we gave the kids pie in the face? We laughed so hard... I am truly going to miss you sister. Love Ruth and family

Dona was a great woman and awesome mother in-law. We spent many Sunday’s on her couch at her house in Oakland watching the Vikings play her beloved packers. We always teased each other about one another’s team but never got too serious about it. She always made me feel at home when I was at her place. Dona always asked Katrina what was my request for lunch or dinner when we came over. I always wanted her fluff for dessert and her baked beans on the side and she usually had me cooking steaks on the grill. I have lots of great memories of us all hanging out on sundays as a family in Oakland doing work in the yard with David and Dona and him and I sneaking off for a few hours to catfish while Katrina , Dona and the kids would cook us a nice meal. I’m really gonna miss her! Especially on the days when the Vikings play the packers. Even when we couldn’t watch the games together she would always call me and we would chit chat about the game.
