Eric, I know Donna from Brighton Gardens Avon floor.  I always hand her around when I visited my Grandmother.  Donna was always asking for you and Donna Schultz.  Donna also knew things about me that I didn't tell her.  It was like spirits we're speaking through her.  She is the best lady to hug and dance with.  I miss her very much.  I am so sorry she had to move from our floor and cross over.  The last time I talked to her was at a picnic in Rem.  She was annoyed not being able to stand and move around.  I love Donna and I am sorry we have lost her physical presence.

Eric, I'll always be grateful that Donna was a loving stepmother to John and me.  It's not easy to make a home for part-time kids, but she did and she did it wonderfully. She owned a generous spirit and we felt loved.  Please know that I'd be happy to share memories with you.  The photo gallery is such a good reminder of her full life and the people who valued her.  Thank you for sending the news to Dad so that he could forward it to me.  I'm sad to hear it and mourn the loss.

Eric, 
You are in my prayers and thoughts. I was privileged to work with your Mom for many years and watch you grow up as well. She helped me and pushed me to develop in areas that I wasn't always excited about, but she knew what skills I needed to develop. Donna was good hearted and I am thankful I got to work many years with her. I know these past years have been difficult for you. I know watching your mom slowly slip away from you was very painful. I was so happy to be able to come to her 80th birthday party, she was happy! I know she is happy now as well and I take comfort in that she is finally home with The Lord. Take care and cherish those wonderful memories of your Mom, and know as we all did how very much she loved you.

Eric. I am so sorry to hear this. Your mother loved you with her whole being. She was a wonderful stepmother to me for many years and I will always cherish my memories of her. Please contact me as I would like to stay in touch. Swen1@msn.com

Much love

Your brother John Swenson
