To Donna;
I loved every moment spent with you.  You were always loving, giving,  kind and wise with a dash of standing your ground if needed.  The years we worked hard and laughed hard together will always be cherished memories for me.   I love you Donna.

To Donna's Family:
I feel as though I know each one of you. I met you in Donna's heart.  The love I felt as she shared stories, events, many joys and some pains were so heartfelt between us, that in some ways you became my family too.  Everyone of you were so loved and that sweet love lives on as my love for her does.  My prayers continue for you in the days ahead. 
John 3:16

My deepest condolences to Bobby and the family.  I went to school with Bobby and while I did not know Donna well, I've heard wonderful things about her.  Sending healing prayers and comfort during this tough time.

What beautiful memories I will cherish with Donna! We could spend countless hours talking about family. She loved and adored her family and shared such sweet stories of each family member. I felt like I knew each one personally. 
Her spicy crackers during holidays were definitely an office favorite.  We could always look forward to eating lunch at Casa Cavazos and talking about the newspaper route. We all knew Donna as a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan. Donna will be missed and may she rest in eternal peace. My sincerest condolences to the Prater and extended family.

Donna, I will forever cherish the memories and the time that we cherished together thank you for always being there for me when I needed someone to talk to, may you rest in paradise.

We loved spending time with Robert and Donna🩷 She was always kind and hospitable. She was a genuine, loving soul. She could make you laugh or she could make your burdens seem lighter because of her patient, listening skills. We loved her like family. She was a true blessing.

It has been my honor for the past 8 years to work with Miss Donna. She was always the light in the dark, the one to always make your day a little bit better and someone who never forgot anything. She was always the first person in our morning huddle to brag about something her family did over the weekend, a race, a cheer competition or a championship football game, and of course her Dallas Cowboys wins.  My husband owns a hotshot company and we would always talk about truck stuff for her nephew, Jake and she was so excited that my oldest daughter, Jaycee Mae and her shared the same birthday. I will miss her smile, the twinkle in her eye, always sharing her mexican food or mini tacos and of course  her spicy crackers and ham dip. Miss Donna was one of a kind but her memory will forever live in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her. Thank you to her family for allowing us at Grove Hill to be a part of her life and of yours.

What can be said in a time of grief, words cannot encompass the breadth of emotions and loss of a loved one...what can be said? To know Donna Kay was to know how much she absolutely adored & loved her family. I sat next to Donna for several years in the admin office and we spent our days sharing (and oversharing) our lives with each other. Her grandbabies were her world and she would have moved mountains to make them happy. She doted on her extended family, as well. She would tell us all about their weekends filled with cheerleading competitions, car races, newspaper deliveries, sports games, crawfish boils. All were welcomed and loved by her. Her work days started with white gravy & biscuits with a Dr Pepper from Whataburger. Her work was impeccable, and no one better mess with her files!! She's left behind many wonderful memories, that may hopefully ease some of the pain of her loss. I extend my deepest, sincerest condolences to her husband, family, loved ones. I will miss our talks Donna Kay.

I was so happy to have known Donna.  She was  kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny.   Donna loved to talk and share stories, so we hit it off in that department!    She will be fondly remembered.   We didn't work directly together, but we were on the phone at times.  Working out different scenarios with contracts, deeds,  anything office related, you name it.    Sending prayers and hugs to her family and friends, during this difficult time.   I will focus on remembering her smile and sparkling eyes (the times we were together) when she talked about her family.
