We are so sad to hear of Donna’s passing! A wonderful person, always with a smile and such a music lover! She always took the time to say hi, on the street, in the mall, or while waiting for our music to start.
We will miss her.
Most sincere condolences to the family and all whom she touched.

My condolences to the family. Donna and Tanya have been at many of the shows I performed as an entertainer over the years. After her family,
music was her inspiration.

Our deepest condolences go to Donna's family at this sad time.
My wife, Lynda, bowled with Donna in the Queenswood Ladies league.
We reconnected when she attended most of my band's (Cara Q) shows at Taproom.
Donna was so full of life and a lover of music, often the first on the dance floor.
We were very saddened to hear of her passing.
We will definitely miss her.
