I wish I could have know Donna longer. I love her with all my heart. A beautiful and kind spirit. She always had a smile on her face. Amos and Donna share a love that will be carried on throughout generations. Her family carry on her smile and her loving nature. If I had gotten to talk with her more we would have realized we shared so much. We graduated one year apart from Widefield. Donna yo will forever be a shining beacon of a true Christian woman to me. You are one of the women in my life that Proverbs 31:10-31 was written about. Forever in my heart and I will see you again in that Sweet By and By. Ronda Larimore

Donna was a very beautiful lady to have in your life. She was a very caring person to help others even when she was ill. She always displayed a very positive attitude. I only had the opportunity of knowing her for about one year but I will miss her as she put a light in my family's hearts when we were struggling with our own losses. She gave true meaning to being a friend, wife, daughter, mother and especially grandmother. The Lord has taken a angel from us here on earth but she's in heaven with a better view over us. Be that bright shining ANGEL in heaven as you were here on Earth. You will truly be missed. Thank You for everything.

Donna was a bright light at King Soopers on Fillmore and Centennial. Made my shopping there a wonderful experience. It is so sad when the good people are taken from us so suddenly.
