Donna was one of God’s beautiful creations of life. Each day we should always remember to say, I LOVE YOU, at the end of our conversation to the people we love and care about. Donna is at peace in the arms of Jesus. My prayers are with her and all of you.
God Bless

Dear Donna, It breaks my heart that I never got to say goodbye, to hold your hand, to kiss you goodbye. At least I know you’re with those you cherished the most, your Mom and Dad and all your other family waiting in heaven. I will miss seeing that twinkle in your eyes, your quick wit, and your sense of humor. Nobody could tell a story like you! I will miss your compassionate, caring heart, but believe you are in a bright, gentle place with no more burdens or sorrow – “A place of comfort, light, and peace”. Ron and I will miss you always, I love you,
Linda

Dear Donna,
Thank you for being a big part of our families lives! Thank you for teaching Christina how to play the piano. I will always remember that cute giggle laugh that no one could duplicate. Your sweet soft happy voice even when you didn’t feel good. I will always remember your beautiful face with the most prefect skin and rosie cheeks! I will think of you when coloring Easter eggs like you did with the kids when they were younger. I will miss making Donna cookies(Crescents) with you. Christina & Stephanie love making your cookies. So glad you were able to teach us your secrets to make the perfect cookie! I always had the best times when you, Aunt Martha & Uncle Don would pick me up on the weekends when I was a little kids, we always had the best times chasing fire trucks & ambulances. We always knew that the sirens were coming before anyone else, that was our intuition! I had fun going to parties with you & our sleep overs were the best giggling all night Aunt Martha used to say you have to let the little girl go to sleep! But we still kept right on giggling! Thank you for always thinking of everyone even if they weren’t deserving of your thoughts! I still can’t wrap my head around the thought of you are not a phone call away! I know you are having so much fun up in Heaven seeing everyone again! Please give them all a big hug for me! I know you will come visit because we have already felt your presents here! There will always be a special place in my heart for you that can never be erased! No one can take that away from me!
But right now my heart aches of our loss of a beautiful kind women that touched so may hearts! until me meet again! I know you will be another one of my Angels watch over me!
Love you forever, Terri Kovach
