It has many years since I saw Donna...she was a parent at Keystone where i was the counselor...she had such an interest in her children's progress and was always so kind to everyone...I know she will be missed by Jennifer, Matthew and Kristine as well as their families and her husband and all those who knew through BUMC....Judy Sandlin

I was in a bible study class with Donna many years ago.  She was a sweet and loving person that made her easy to love.  I am so sorry for your loss and ours.. You are in my prayers.  I understand many of the sad times that you have but also the good memories.

As I remember growing up at Bartlett Methodist Church, Ms. Donna was in so many of my wonderful memories.  You rarely saw her without a smile on her face and her passion for children and love of music could be both seen and felt.  I will never forget working with her on the children's choir or VBS.  She always made you feel safe, at peace and loved and accepted unconditionally. She always talked about her family - always.  She was so very proud of them.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I pray that God grants you peace during this time.  Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers daily and that her influence is still impacting me and my family today.

i am sorry for yours and the world's loss
