Donna will always be in my heart. She is so missed! I love her dearly.
Carol Whilemiller

Donna sent me this photo which she took from her front window on October 14, 2022. Beverly passed December 16, 2021. 

Here is the message she sent to me.

Good morning Hal! I took this pic yesterday. The orb in the picture is really letting me know I have a guardian Angel! I felt that this was Bev! So I sent the pic to my sister who does readings. She used her pendulum and tarot cards and said it was definitely Beverly! I think of her alot! I talk to her and feel her presence!  What a blessing! How are you doing my friend? 🤗😇

Now Beverly and Donna are together resting in heaven. 

☦️🙏



My friend, I don’t know where to begin. It was an honor and a pleasure knowing you.  I’m still in disbelief that you are gone. Today was hard, your service was absolutely beautiful. 
I have wonderful memories and hold a special place in my heart for you. 
You watched all of our children grow up and you were such a sweet, caring, kind and compassionate person to us and them.  You always acknowledged all their birthdays, graduations, Christmas, etc.. We are all family here on this block Miss Donna. It will never be the same without you. I feel so blessed to have spent so much time with you, especially while you were on your journey to the other side. Your wings were ready, but my heart was not. My prayers and sincere deepest condolences to your family and friends. You were one of a kind and I will miss you dearly. I love you Donna, rest in peace my friend.

May the memories of your mother comfort you in the days ahead. I am so sorry due to my unexpected hospitalization I was unable to attend the services in person. Donna will be greatly missed with her sunny disposition in the days ahead.

Karolyn,

So sorry for your loss, I always heard wonderful things from Sherry and Sonia about your mom.

Karolyn I am sorry for the loss of your mother.  I have fond memories of Donna making the trip to University of Illinois for Sonia’s graduation from veterinary school. She was a very supportive friend.

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
as you slowly slipped away
And though we loved you dearly
We couldn't make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating
Your tired hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best"

With deepest sympathy, love and prayers to family and friends
Donna was my dearest, forever and eternal friend and blessing.
RIP dearest  one, until we meet again

My heart has an emptiness since I lost my dear friend. I’ll never forget the laughs, shopping, lunches, ceramics classes and very long phone calls where we shared our deepest thoughts. Until we meet again my friend! Rest in Gods peace. ❤️

Donna, 
We always said we were friends forever. You remain my dearest friend forever.  I miss you you terribly. I know we’ll meet again in heaven and share more stories and laughs. I wish you peace and love and happiness. No more pain. 
Love forever.
Carol

Another look at that beautiful blonde. And that sweet smile.  We miss you Don.  💕

There is my beautiful blonde sister. She was truly a blonde at heart. And a gorgeous one at that!

The Eckert family sends its sincere condolenses to the family on the loss of Donna. My wife Beverly who passed in December 2021 was best friends with Donna and the family. They met and worked together on the Sward PTA in the nineties and remained friends. Donna was a very warm and caring person who will be greatly missed by all.

Sincerely

Hal Eckert and Family
