Grandma I miss you like crazy, these two boys are getting so big. I know you're watching over them everyday. 😔 I love you Grandma!!! I miss being at the kitchen bar talking for hours!!! I just want to go back and talk to my best friend 😪 

I adopted The Blackbirds as family over 50 years ago. Donna was a Mother to me since day one. She always care about me, showed me love, and had many a hearty plate of food for me whether Barry was there or not. My sincere condolences to Ronnie, Barry, and Gary. I love you guys... Hang in there Ronnie. You know that Donna expects that. Love you Dad.  Gary, you were there the last time I hugged her goodbye. Remember? Bless you. Hey Barry, I'm damn proud of the time you spent and the love you gave to Mom in her later years. And NO, every Son doesn't do that. But you DID! Thats your legacy brother,  never forget that. Love ya Man.
Sincerely, 
Michael Broderick.

And Now, I dedicate  this poem to my "Adopted Mom", Donna Blackbird. 
Its called:

My Mother, My Friend

A Mother's love 
Has no end.
She'll never forsake you
She's a Sons best friend !

She cooked all of our food
And made nice our homes.
And taught us so much
With her lyrics and poems.

And when I messed up
In the midst of my youth.
She did council with me
Tough love, but the truth.

And now she is gone
And but for sadness, I'm free.
For deep in my soul
My Mom is always with me.

For life can be hard
And right now I'm crying.
But to keep my Mom proud
Now, I'll never stop trying!

*To live the good life
And teach it to others.* 
From the love of her Son
As a monument to Mothers.

For my Mother's love. 
Had no end.
And I know in my heart 
She was my best friend !

I love you MOM.
Rest in peace always

Michael (Broderick)

I have know the Blackbirds since I was in elementary school. Barry was one of my best friends and we lived a couple of blocks away from each other. I have fond memories of his mother, Donna, spoiling us on sleep-overs with lots of treats. She also would drive us up to the Del City movie theatre and the swimming pool in the summers which was a nice break from going everywhere on our bikes. My thoughts and condolences go out to the entire Blackbird family.

Aunt Donna was such a special woman who made everyone around her feel so at home. She had the sweetest heart, and I will miss her greatly. Her kindness was a defining characteristic of all the memories I have with her. She never raised her voice, only to say, Buster, get down! 
From the sugary cherry coke machine, to the lake house special visits, lunches with Uncle Dwyne, Aunt Bettie, and yearly visits with the family and kids, she holds a big place in my heart. 
Sympathies to her Wonderful life partner, Uncle Ronnie, her sons and Grandchildren. You are very fortunate to have had her so close.  She always had a smile, always positive. 
She will be missed. 

My last two in a half years of school was spent working in the cafeteria with Donna and the rest of the wonderful women who worked there. Donna always had a smile on her face and always had a kind word to say. I always looked forward to going to work because I got to spend it with some wonderful ladies. I am so blessed to have been able to meet and work with Donna. May she rest in peace and God bless her husband and family. Sh was a great person and will be greatly missed.

Donna Blackbird was a second mother to me. I’m so glad that I got to spend some quality time with her and Ronny last year. I don’t know if I ever met a better husband/wife combination!
My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to Ronny, Barry and Gary and the extended family. 

She was the most kindness, precious person always had a smile on her face, she worked in the cafeteria at Crooked Oak, always looked forward to seeing her every day,  Always took care of all her kids.

I have lived next door to you for the last 23 years is was a blessing to have you as a neighbor I enjoyed all of talks we had and I'm going to miss you dearly 
RIP Donna

My hearts breaks to hear this. Thoughts and prayer for the family. I loved running to the cafeteria for lunch! All the cafeteria lady’s where so special to all of my family! We loved Donna and she always made sure we had breakfast and lunch even if we forgot our lunch money. I ran into Donna last year at the grocery store and gave her a big hug and thanked her for always being such an amazing person! She will be missed! Love, Gary Wayne and Valentina VanCuren

Donna was a beautiful person both inside and out.  She was a  very kind and thoughtful person with a heart of gold. She is now one of God’s most prized Angels.
