"Scott and family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Being a mother, I feel blessed to have had Donna's heartfelt compassion and support for the children in our neighborhood. I've looked forward to her pictures she would share of all the trick or treaters at Halloween. We have lost a great neighbor. She will be missed."

"I met Scott and Donna when I took care of their cats almost six years ago. Since then I've spent time with Donna and grown to love her so much. A month ago we went out for prime rib to Jericho's. She love to do that. She was back driving on her own and doing so well. She's always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. She's an angel. I'm going to miss her so much. Scott you are amazing with her and I know she loved you so much. Much prayers for your family at this time."
