  29. Donna, to me, was a lifelong friend. Someone who came into my life when we were just kids and brought complete joy, happiness and true friendship
    The memories flood into my mind, bring laughter, tears and love.
    We biked, played softball, feed the ducks, watched the Islanders win the Stanley Cup, cheered her dad in as he ran marathons, danced badly, vacationed together and laughed from our bellies.
    We were the type of friends, who even if we hadn’t spoken in a while, once we saw each other again we did not miss a beat. We had an absolutely crazy, happy friendship filled with genuine care and concern.
    We visited each other through college, She stood by my side at my wedding, visited with the birth of my kids, and was with me when my mom passed.
    I am forever grateful for her friendship…. I have been blessed to have her and her entire family in my life…
    There will be an emptiness left in me – missing the potential to make more memories, missing her smile and feeling heartbroken that her boys will miss out on growing up with this wonderful soul in their lives.
    We weren’t mushy – but we knew, we knew our friendship was forever …

  30. candleWords cannot express how sorry I am to hear this tragic news. Donna, we were lunch duty buddies through and through for years. I will always remember our conversations in the lunch room, in the hallway, or just chatting in the office… You will be missed dearly by so many. You were a bright light that helped so many in need. May you always look over those who you loved and cherished the most. Rest In Peace… Love and light always
