To the Children of Donna, my deepest condolences go out to you all. I just heard about this yesterday through a mutual friend of both late Donna and I. I was shocked to hear about her passing and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Donna was a special person to have known and was also a funny gal to hang out with. I used to go to her house and the first thing I would ask her is "do you want me to roll smokes for you?" She would just laugh and say "sure but not to tight this time" I will miss her smiling face and witty sense of humor. R.I.P. my Friend.

Darren & Lisa:

I have known your mother since the sixth grade.  she was a bridesmaid at my wedding.  we have shared much laughter, some tears and many secrets as teenagers. there are so many memories.  Donna i shall never forget you and will hold you in my heart.

Dear Darren and Lisa,
What I will remember most about your Mom and my sister will be her wonderful sense of humour and warm laugh.  She had the ability to embrace everyone, to see the best in people, and had a kind, generous heart. I will miss getting her cards at Christmas.
Hugs,

Lisa, Dareen, Cheyanne & Ray
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will miss Donna but we will never forget her.

Dear Darren and Lisa - we are very very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom - our dear cousin Donna.  She was a very special lady and and truly an angel to many of us.  As you know my Mom loved her dearly as did we.  Please know we are praying for you all that God's mercy and compassion surround you - and may rest eternal and light perpetual shine upon Donna.

With love from Winnipeg,
Your cousins, Di, Garth, Cole, Rocky and Bandit William

Darren, Lisa and Families:
My prayers are with you on the loss of your mom.  I will never forget her wholesome laugh and wonderful smile and our good times in California.  It's been over 40 years since I have seen you - I hope we will meet again soon.
God bless
Love Leona

Dear Darren, Lisa and Family,

My greatest sympathies to you all. Donna will be dearly missed. It was and will remain to be my honour to grow up around everyone in your family. All of you possess such amazing, loving hearts and great wisdom, which you always share. I hope to continue to be surrounded by the wisdom and loving hearts of your family. Rest in Peace Donna, you will be remembered always.

What I remember most and loved about Aunty Donna was her laugh. She was a very intellegent woman with a big heart who will be missed dearly. Love to Darren, Becka, and Lisa.

Dear Lisa, Darren and family.
Your mom was a generous happy lady, she enjoyed sharing her home with her friends and fellow church members.  Many times when she was living in Sylvan Lake, we would drop in for a visit and a cup of tea.  There was always laughter and hugging. 
Through your tears and in your sorrow know that God holds you close.  
Love you always
Ragnar and Edna Mannerfeldt

Love and prayers to you Lisa, Darren, Rebbecca,  and family
have many fond memories of time spent with Donna She will be missed but not forgotten. 
Love Ken & Ruth

Lisa, Darren,Cheyanne and Ray, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Donna gave me so many gifts as a friend. She taught me the value of laughter and the gift of putting things into perspective-not sweating the small stuff as well as the tremendous power of belief.  It is with a fond heart that I recall her infectious smile. I pray your grief will be transformed by the many everlasting gifts she gave us all.

Donald,was my pet name for Donna...who loved flowers, big trees, angels,reading, writing and just giving a helping hand to anyone who was in need.  I have been blessed to have met such a wonderful personality...I will never forget her laugh.  Her angels have taken "Our Angel" to be with Our Lord...

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone at this time of mourning. I have heard many great stories and memories shared by those who had the pleasure of knowing and loving Donna. I unfortunately never had the pleasure of meeting her but from what I have come to know is that she will be forever missed and never forgotten and her life has impacted many. May she find peace in heaven and watch down on you.
With kindest regards,
Tanya Burns (daughter of Tom Burns)

Love to you and your family on this sad sad day.  Donna will always be in my heart and memories. As neighbours and friends we shared good times with lots of laughter.

My thoughts go out to Darren and Lisa and other family in this time of loss, as Donna will be missed dearly but loved always. Donna was my aunt that I never had a chance to meet. However I've heard nothing but loving things from my dad, her brother Tom Burns. Donna, you will truley be missed, but remembered with love and in our thoughts, memories and prayers. Love Always, Catlin Burns your nephew.

I only met you once,but you had a lasting impression,and always will.Rest in Peace Donna.

Dear Darren:
Although we never had the privilege of meeting your Mum we were saddened by the news of her recent passing.  We know that you and our son Gary have remained good friends since your High School days when we all lived in Calgary so we feel for you in your time of grief.  We would like to pass on our sympathies to you and your family.  May her soul rest in peace.
 
Although it will be very painful for you for a while, time will heal the pain and you will be left with a lot of good memories.
