My memories of Donna are mainly at the golf club with Laurie and many friends. While the men were out golfing, us ladies would be eating and drinking up a storm in the club having a great time. Golf season was our favorite time of year back then, and we created many fun memories that will last a lifetime. Donna and her family will always remain a special treasure to our family...Love and Blessings, Malita and Scott

My memories of Donna will always be that she was one of my VERY BEST FRIENDS and at our work at Beachfront Motel every day at quicketing time, Donna would always say "Martinooni Time Clara" and we would stop and have a drink together at the end of our day. I have missed her in the last few years, but enjoyed talking on the phone now and again. Love and Blessings, Clara
