So sorry to hear of the loss of Donna Jean. I have only the fondest of memories of Donna Jean when we would either play at her house or our house when we were kids! Berni and I would hang with Sherry while Annmarie and Mary Jane would hang out with Donna. She had the kindest spirit and a wonderful smile and laugh! I will be praying for you all and hoping that fun memories can get you through the tough times!

My heart is broken. My niece, Donna (or Beanie as we called her) was so kind and sweet. I will love her forever. She will always have a special place in my heart. Fly with the angels, Beanie. Until we meet again, you will always remain in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for the beautiful butterfly. I will keep it forever. I know you are at peace. All my love, Aunt Pat 💕🪽

My condolences to all. There are too many things to say, but the most important is, 53 years is a very long time to have such a special friend. I have so many fond memories, bakery, Bristol house, swain st, Dorrance street, 5th ward, dairy dock, fire house, bike rides, Wilbur the dog etc. I will never forget the sound of your laugh or your smile that lit up a room. I love you Donna, my very first best friend. Save me a spot and we’ll catch up when I get there.

Donna, you are going to be missed so much. I have nothing but the fondest memories of you always at our house growing up. Every morning you would show up at our house before school and make sure we were up and getting ready. You were there I believe everyday at 6 am. I don't know how you did that while living across town. You always had a smile on your face and I can hear your laugh as like we are talking. I really loved all those years growing up with you being barb's best friend. You were like another sister to me. I am so glad I got to see you the few times I came home to visit recently. You always would talk about growing up together. My heart is breaking as I know I will no longer get to see your infectious smile or ask barb how you are doing even before you got sick. I will miss you Donna. Tom misses you also. I'm sure my dad was waiting with open arms for you and I'm sure he smelled of old spice. Love you and rest now my sweet friend. Samantha waterbor(Denike)

My heart is broken . It took me this long to even write something because of still being in disbelief. Donna was a wonderful, beautiful, funny person who I had the pleasure of being friends and co-worker with. We laughed so much when we worked together at AirMaster! To a beautiful person that was taken from us way, way to soon. Rest in peace Angel I will always have a special place in my heart for you and so very sorry I was not there to pay my respects. My deepest condolences to Anthony, Denny, Sherry, Monica and Michael.
