I’m beyond heartbroken as I’ve just learned about the loss of Donna. I had the pleasure of being with her and her loving children when we all lived in Las Vegas. Not only was she ingratiating and very open, she was nobody’s fool and an astute businessperson. I knew her when she was a sales manager for the Fitzgerald’s Hotel and Casino. Everyone on the staff respected her and she brought a lot of gamers to her hotel. We dated for a while and she always has remained in my thoughts. The world will be a little lonely without her and I will always have a place in my heart for her. God Bless and I know you brought a smile to God’s face
