My tribute to Donna,
I have a fond memory of Donna and Daniel visiting Austin, TX. Donna, Latima, and I had fun bonding, giggling and doing girl talk about life, and our kids. We went to the grocery store and she brought some raspberries. When we got home she shared some with me, but they weren’t sweet enough for me. She laughed and said “good , that’s more for me”and we both laughed. Every time I eat raspberries now, I laugh and think of Donna. Daniel met my other grand-boys and they hit it off right away. Donna, thank u for always being beautiful inside and out. It seems like once you become friends with Donna u are friends for life, and we just pick up where we left off last time every time we talked. Donna is such a jewel, a quality diamond of a person. Donna, your mothering skills are off the charts. I am still amazed that you raised your beautiful son, Chris and then had enough love and patience to raise 2 more boys from Texas, Daniel and Evan Timothy. You and Bernie will always be heroes in my family’s minds and our lives. God used you mightily in this life and now I believe that you are receiving your crown to place at Jesus feet and receiving many rewards in heaven.
Words can’t express my deepest gratitude for you! And my deepest sympathy that we will not be to enjoy your beautiful presence on this side. But I plan to look you up on the other side. Prayers for your entire family and close friends. We are missing you so bad, but you have graduated to heaven and that is the goal for all Christian’s. Donna, thanks to you and Bernie again , and your entire family for blessing my family many times over and for being a great friend!
