    Sherry and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Donna is not suffering now, after fighting her illness for many, many years. May she rest in peace as she watches over all you.

  2. Dear James, Eric, Karla, Nick & Megan,

    Donna was a wonderful woman who definitely left her mark on this world. She had such a kind, gentle spirit and will truly be missed. I have many fond memories of her when I was growing up in the church at Oswego. She always had a way of making others feel special; I am praying for all of you during your difficult loss.

    With love, Shelly

  3. Jim,
    I am so sorry to read this news. (I am the girl that worked @ Dr. Lubinga’s)
    I loved seeing her when she came into the office as well you.

    May Donna now rest in peace and you receive the comfort and strength needed to get through this.
    Deepest sympathy, Melody

  4. I missed her when she was here upon the earth for twenty years as I tried to connect with her prior to her or my passing. Donna left me missing her. I will only think of her with fondness although she did not think of me at all.
