Hello Holly. So sorry for the loss of your mother, Donna. A week after I started working for her my mother passed. Donna was so kind and understanding to my situation. It’s not easy to lose your mother…probably one of the hardest things we can go through. Hang in there. Sending you and your family love and light. Katie Linjatie FMA Herrera.

Donna, my life won’t be the same without my Donna Momma at my side planning for weddings, Refreshings, teas, Galas and any other event that needed tablecloths, tea pots and flowers! Oh what fun we had alongside Jan and other ladies we roped into helping us put on the Ritz! Your patience, wisdom and sweet love for me will always be cherished and I will miss you greatly. Until we meet again….

I first met Donna back in 2000 when we were both hired by the VA. She was always such a kind lovely person and known for her warm smile and hospitality. So sorry to her family for your loss but heaven has gained lovely soul.

We are so sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. For the past twenty-five years we’ve had the privilege of living next door to Donna and Jim. We will miss Donna’s always pleasant smile and conversations with her as she worked in her beautiful garden. She’s been the best neighbor we could ever hope for. Our love and condolences to Jim, Kris, and the rest of the family.

Beautiful Beautiful Donna,
Everything you did you did with style and grace. Your eye for details always amazing.
You gift of hospitality was as none other.
Many many people were blessed by your garage of treasures that you joyfully shared .from babies, to Wedding to Christmas to all
Holidays you made everything more beautiful.

I’m sorry to hear of sweet Donna’s passing. She was such a beautiful person. We are so grateful to her for being there for us in a time of need when our parent’s passed away by decorating the church for their services as she did for so many other families in the community. She was a blessing. Sending prayers to the family during this difficult time.

Oh dear sweet Donna how I will miss you.
I first met Donna at the Lewis & Clark Republican Women,
then at church and got to know her much better when attending a “Refreshing” Ladies event.
She was a delight to be around, full of wisdom on so many things.
I send my prayers to her family and other friends who have grieving hearts right now.
We will see her again one day in Heaven when we join her there.
Our loss is indeed heavens gain. I am certain she is “sprucing up” heaven already.

Becky, I’m so sorry to see the passing of your sweet Momma. The last time I saw the two of you was in Winco parking lot! Costco before then! She was always so pleasant to talk with. I hope I can see you on Friday! Sending love to you and the whole family.

Donna was a special lady who always had a smile. She wouldn’t hesitate to visit when you ran into her while she was out and about. She loved her family and she loved life. She will be missed. May God be with her family at this difficult time.

Donna was always gracious and knowledgeable- I often contacted her for advice and she was prompt and efficient and she smiled all the time she was talking to you! A delightful colleague that I enjoyed so much. May your family find comfort in all the memories you share! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
