A truly special person is someone who can lift the spirits of someone who is going through a bad day as we all do, and Donna had this trait in spades. Simply said, Donna had the uncanny ability to just make you feel that you were the most important person in a crowded room. Lucky for all of us Donna passed these traits on to her kids, Claude and Tanya. Donna you without a doubt will be missed but never forgotten.
