My sweet cousin/best friend from childhood.  I can't even explain how much I miss you.  We had so many plans for the future.  My comfort is that I will see you again one day, along with Michelle, and the three of us can hang out like we used to!  I thank God for the memories I have of all the times we had together.  We were so blessed to be related AND be best friends.  I love you!  I miss you!  See you again one day!

Although we did not know Donna that well, we knew your son, Kristopher. What a wonderful young man you raised!  We know through your son’s character what a special woman you were.   My son, Christopher, thought so much of you, Donna. 
May The Lord hold your family through this time. May He comfort and give them His peace knowing He has you in His loving arms. 
Love,
John snd Susan Kobus

Well I am Donna's daughter.  So I have a bagillion memories of her in my 28 years of life. Every memory stands out in their own way. But one thing I have to say about my momma is that she was my number one fan. I called her eveyday after work , to just talk about life. And if she didnt answer I would keep calling and calling until she did ha. Her ring tone for me was stewie from family guy saying mom .... mom.. mommy!!! Hahaha. When she passed a piece of me passed a way too. But I know one thing she would want me to carry on with my head held high. She was tiny but fierce. She was unstoppable in whatever she did. I love you mom. We will meet again one day. 

I met Donna when she started working at ViPS and we have been friends ever since. I loved hearing about Val and her grandchildren. She just loved them all so much. I will miss my friend and occasionally eating sushi with her. 
I hope the wonderful memories help you through this difficult time and forever.

As working moms in the same neighborhood our schedules did not allow for a lot of free time but it was always obvious to me that Donna had a heart for kids. First her own. She was involved and maintained her sanity even throughout the teenage years. That’s not an easy task for any mom but her fierceness and determination to love her family was seen in her eyes Then her grandchildren. Such joy they brought her. Gabe and Fin. Honestly,  I don’t know how she kept up with two little boys but she did! Once again, she was determined to make everything out of the present time she had. This brings me to her annual Halloween costume and the time she and her husband took to sit outside having fun with the children and the neighbors seeking their “Trick or Treats”! Next October won’t be the same without her but I shall cherish the memories of her and move my life forward making the most of every minute God has given us just as she did!

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
