Dear Audrey Marcia and Family,

My name is Melvyn Carter from London, England, and Donna helped me and my friends for a number of years when she worked at DePrez Travel.
We all thought Donna was wonderful- she dealt with our many requests in an exemplary fashion. She got us the most wonderful deals at the Bellagio Las Vegas, where we were frequent travelers.

So much did we appreciate all Donna did for us that we referred to her as "goddess". 

We are truly shocked and saddened to learn of her untimely passing and our thoughts and prayers are with all her family and friends as you try to cope with this tragedy.

I will always have such fond memories of our dealings with Donna, and hope that our goddess is at rest with her god in heaven.

Melvyn Carter, Tony Rose and Jeremy Margolin.

Donna and I worked together 20 years ago. We always had great times at lunch. She was lovely person, and I am sad to hear of her early passing. She spoke of you constantly, Jodie, and her pride and love for you were always evident. I'm glad I knew her.

Jodi and Matt:

I was so sorry to hear of Donna's passing.  I booked your honeymoon and worked right next to Donna for over a  year.  She always had a positive attitude and always knew how to make others laugh.  Please hold your memories close during this difficult time.
 
In Sympathy,

Valerie Daciw

Jodi,
I have no idea what you must be going through in losing what I think is the single most important compass in  life. I know your mom was that to you, too, and with this loss comes so many layers of heartache. 

Your mom was such a lovely woman and I lived behind your mom and we both served as board members for our home owners association. She would call me Sherlock and I would call her Watson, and then we were Cagney and Lacey. I often think of all of the few times that we spent together doing the things that we needed to do as we served on the board, and even sitting with her on her deck.

She was such a pleasure to have around as a friend and a neighbor. I have learned so much from her and will remember her always. I love you and am truly sorry for your loss. 

If there is anything that I can do as a neighbor, friend or board member, please don't hesitate to contact me.

God Bless, you and your family!

Dear Audrey, Marcia and Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your Daughter, Sister, Mother and Aunt, Donna. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time. May she rest in peace.
With love,

I was so saddened to hear of Donna's passing.  I worked with her very closely for years.  She was always telling funny stories and making me laugh!  She was such a comfort when I lost my parents - and such a support with great advice.  She will be greatly missed - Rest in Peace!

Jodi so sorry for your loss. She will be missed. Unfortunately I am out of town and will miss the service.

I was very saddened to hear of Donna's passing.  I never had the chance to meet Donna in person, but worked with her (via phone calls and e-mails) over the years reserving rooms for our company's representatives for ICSC events.  She was an amazing person and had such a great sense of humor.  She always made me laugh and turned my "mountains" into "molehills".  I often called her my "miracle worker".  My heart goes out to all of you at DePrez. I know you were a close-knit family.

Dear Jodie,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom.  I always enjoyed seeing her in Wegmans.  She always kept me up to date on how you were doing.  She loved you very much.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Jodie and family,
 Our hearts go out to you.  Donna was such a beautiful person and great friend.  We will miss her.  We are so glad that we could spend some time with her on Oak Island.  We will always cherish the fond memories.  Our prayers are with you.

I was so saddened to hear of Donna's passing....To know her was to know the deep great love she had for her daughter ...her "green" thumb....and her sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jodie and the rest of the family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace....

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Donna. Although I have not seen or talked to Donna in years she was one of "us"...a member of the GC Class of 73. 
Donna, you will remain in our hearts and memories of the good times will live on.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family as they struggle with the void left by your passing.  RIP

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Donna.  She was a wonderful person who always made everyone around her laugh. She had the best sense of humor and the most generous heart.  You could always depend on her for anything. I'm so glad that I got to know her and work with her for so many years.  She will be greatly missed. I have been thinking of you all and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing.  She went to Bryant & Stratton with my mom.  She always had a smile on her face.  Our prayers are with your family.

Donna was a joy to work with. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Marcia and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing.  I haven't seen Donna in many years, but I remember her fondly.  She worked with my mom for many years.  She was a special lady.  One of the things I remember about Donna is how she adored her daughter Jodie.  I wish you peace and strength.  May the many memories you have of Donna help you in the days ahead.

Jodi,
Words can't express my sympathy.  Have not seen your Mom in a long time, but have some good memories.

Jodie I'm so sorry to hear about mom. It is a shock to hear!!

My Thoughts and prayers are with you...

Marcia, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister Donna.  I remember her from years ago.  Your family is in my prayers.

Donna it was a pleasure to meet you. My prayers and thoughts for the family.  JoAnn Helmer sister Deb

Donna will keep everyone in heaven laughing like she did here on Earth.

Donna was a neighbor, friend and confidant.  While we didn't see one another during the winter, we caught up on life once the spring came.  Donna had an engaging and quirky smile and an infectious laugh.  Those of us in the neighborhood who are fortunate enough to know her will have fond memories of gazing upon her doing one of her favorite things, gardening.  Donna will be forever in my heart and sorely missed.

Dear Jodie-So shocked and saddened by your Mom's  passing. I just ran into her at the the grocery store and we were going down memory lane about you and Dana. All my love and sympathy at this time. 
Love and prayers:

Donna was a real sweetheart and I'm sorry that she has passed so early in life. I met Donna through Pete Chinnock who is the drummer in our band a little over 5 years ago and she always had a smile when she came to our shows at Johnny's Irish Pub. I loved to see her and Fran dance to their favorite songs. Donna we'll miss seeing you at the gigs, but I know you'll be there in spirit dancing just above our heads. May God bless you and keep you in his arms until we all meet again and dance forever...Michael B. Norton

Donna you will be missed... All the memories we shared.  The curtains still look good!

I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. She was an amazing woman with a heart of gold. She always knew how to make me laugh and smile and I enjoyed hearing stories daily about her Jodie and her granddog. She made a cross stitch for my son Hayden when he was born and it is something I will keep forever to remember her always. Even though I only knew her for a short time she was so easy to talk to that she made me feel like we had known each other forever. I will miss her very much.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Donna's passing and am so very sorry for your loss.  I will always remember Donna's beautiful voice and how she made everyone around her feel important and special.  Donna's love for her daughter and the pride she felt for her was part of every conversation we ever had, even in the funny stories she shared.  I am so grateful to have known Donna, such a truly beautiful woman, mother and friend.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Donna for several years and she always knew how to make me smile. So greatful to say she was in my life and I will miss her greatly.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I worked with Donna on many meetings and traveled on business with her many times to Las Vegas. She had a strong work ethic and a great sense of humor.
