So sorry to hear. Donna was always a sweet neighborhood girl and friend. God Bless!
To Michael and family: Michael, you and I met once many many years ago as Donna very proudly introduced you to me at a social event. Donna loved you and she loved her family. Although, I have not worked with Donna in many, many years, the news of her death really struck a chord with me. I loved Donna as a co-worker and as a casual work buddy. Donna was an awesome, sweet, devoted, hardworking, dedicated, respectful, and kind woman. She was truly an expert and a ‘go-to’ in her field of technical documentation. Donna assumed the burden of work with a sense of purpose. She gently educated (and re-educated) her customers about the correct way to execute their requirements. When Donna voiced her opinion, she had a special look on her face that let you know that she was not playing around. My deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and colleagues who will miss her.
