Donna and I were best friends all through Washington Junior High.  We walked home together every day, usually singing the popular songs of the day.  She was a wonderful pianist and we spend many hours at her house singing at the piano.  I haven't lived in Fresno for 50 years, but we kept in touch at Fresno High reunions, birthdays, etc. I will miss her.

Remembering all the trips we made with Nana to the ocean, and all the calls from Donna on my birthdays.  We will miss you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My love and prayers are with you and your family.....Your mommy is in heaven and watching over you always. God bless you .....

Remembering all the fun we had when we worked together and years later when we were raising our kids.  She was so much fun and loved to talk with her for an hour or two from time to time.  She sure loved you and the grandchildren. A hug to you for comfort and we shall always remember her.  Love, Myrna and Bob Pilkerton

Grandma, I miss you so much already.. Just the thought that you aren't there, it makes me cry. You were the most significant person in my whole life & I thank you for that. You are impossible to replace. You were such a strong woman, thank you for these past couple years, for fighting so that we could have this time w/ you. You'll never leave my heart, & everything I do, it will be for you. You were my special someone, & my life would have been such a mess w/out you. You made me and my life something special that could never be taken away. xoxo

First I love you grandma. You have always been the sweetest women to ever enter my life. I still remember the days me and Daniel would stay awake late at night playing with our Mighty Max toys, just to wait for you to get home from bingo and make us a bowl of cereal. After years of this amazing moment we always looked forward too, we nicknamed you "cereal killer." You have been the light of our lives for many years and I don't know how I will recover from this. I pray for you and miss you more than my words can express! I LOVE YOU GRANDMA! I'm glad my daughter got to meet you and spend time with you...it truly moves my heart!

Our prayers go out to you and your family.  Bart remembers your mother fondly when she shopped at the store with her Mother, Pauline, where he worked in the 60's.   God Bless you and your family.

Donna and I worked together as office assistants at the Dept of Social Services for many, many years and became very good friends , even after she retired and I moved away from the Fresno, Clovis area. we remained friends and kept in touch.  Monica, Karen and your families, please know that
my thoughts and prayers are with you.  There is nothing I can say or do to
ease the pain you are suffering now because of your loss, but do know, I am
with you in spirit.  The surrounding of family and friends will comfort you and
God will get you thru.  I will miss her very much.  Donna was awesome.
