I loved seeing her at the taproom she had that joy de vivre and loved dancing and she never left the dance floor. She lived like no other. She will be dearly missed at the taproom and she inspired me and she loved everyone so much. My sympathies to tanya and family.

I will remember Donna fondly in my heart. It was always so wonderful to see her and Tanya enjoying an evening out together on the weekend when our band was playing at the Taproom. She was so friendly and positive. She sparkled from the inside out, like a golden angel. I will cherish the memory of her smile and am blessed to have met her. My deepest condolences to Tanya and the rest of her family.

Donna was every one of the shows of The Underground and before that at Darcy McGhees. She was such a lovely lady and she lit up the dance floor. The last time we played she lovingly gave me hell for not wearing my red pants. It was so comforting to see her every time we played there and she will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Tanya, I was with you and your Mom about a week before she passed at Tap Room 260, dancing with you both. Donna, as always, looked like she would live forever. I am so sorry and sad at loosing this vibrant, loving, joyful woman. You have a beautiful legacy to fuel your memories. It seems she left us without much warning, which is hard for those left behind. But it was a blessing in disguise for her to not have suffered. May you all find peace as you release her and discover the joy she lived so fully. I'm sure she will be pleased to rejoin her beloved Denis once again. I just found out about her passing while at Lexus restaurant today.
