Jim and family,
Peace and prayers to you as you say goodbye to a woman of grace and gratitude. The grace was easy to see ~and the gratitude was directed at you Jim and the genuine love you share. It was a joy to hear her speak of you. Rarely do you find a husband and wife speak so fondly of one another. I will miss her visits and promises of lunches to come. God bless.

Jim,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. Donna was a very special person who led her life with such class. I hadn’t seen her since leaving employment at Milestone, but she was in my thoughts many times. Such a beautiful lady.

I worked with Donna at Main Event. She was a vibrant lady who always spoke her mind. She spoke of her husband Jim often and loved rushing home each evening to spend time with him. She loved telling stories of her life and experiences. We will all miss her greatly. Until we meet again in Heaven. God bless! jenhen

My thoughts are with you Jimmy Mouse, Grandmother and Granddad. She will be missed very dearly, even by me! I Love you Aunt Donna! You were such a lovable, sweet lady!
Brandon Gabriel says
I was a client of Donna’s through Main Event. She was certainly one of the most outgoing people I’ve ever met. I’d go as far as to consider her a friend even though things were always business oriented. She often spoke of her husband Jim and how he was learning Spanish and they were trying to do Insanity. She spoke of her granddaughter like she looked up to her, even though I’m sure she will look up to Donna. We are very shocked about the news and saddened that we will not get to see Donna’s smile come through that door. I’m very sorry for your loss. Donna was one of those people who everyone will miss. God bless
