Our sympathy to Art and everyone who loved Donna. She will be greatly missed. Our friendship goes back to 1968 when we were hastily moved from Chicago to Phoenix.

Needless to say Donna and Barbara were not happy about the move away from family and let everyone know, till they realized over time, life was much better in Arizona.

Donna was sweet & easy person to be with and an elegant person with goodness and light about her. Our conversations when we would get together were always wonderful & that spirit will always be with us. God Bless Donna and hold and keep her in his heart!
Love Bob and Barbara
