With tears we saw you suffer, While we watched you fade away, Our hearts were surely broken, As you fought so hard to stay. We knew you had to leave us, But you never went alone, For part of us went with you, The day you left your home. You'll never really leave us, For in our hearts you'll stay, Your memory ever treasured, Today and every day.

I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. Donna was my dance teacher when I was 5 yrs old. Then we connected again when I was in my 20's, we became closer when I was married and my husband worked for Cal. Chris was the ring bearer at my wedding. I will miss her greatly, - Posted by: Olivia Nichol (Friend.) on: May 04, 2015

So sorry to hear of Donna's illness and passing away. I have known her for decades first with Nutri Metics then Jeunique and the later years with XanGo. She was such a caring and loving person and always had a smile on her face and her laugh warmed your heart. It was a pleasure to have known her and I will cherish the memories of her. - Posted by: Mary & Joe Malsbury (Friend and business associate with Nutri Metics, Jeunique and XanGo.) on: Sep 23, 2012

Our sincerest sympathies go out to Donna's children, Keri, Kelly and Chris. We are so sorry to have lost touch with Donna following your Nutri-Metics years. She may have been a SPECIAL MOM to you, but in the Nutri-Metics family, she was our SPECIAL MOM. Her experience, patience, generosity, kindness and understanding taught us about business, and how to make people feel good both inside and out. Our prayers are going out your way as you adjust to the loss of such a GREAT and LOVELY LADY. - Posted by: Carmen and Glenn Stewart (Friends from Nutri-Metics) on: Sep 23, 2012

Donna was an inspiring leader with a heart of gold.....Who didn't know what great pasta she served?! The trips we earned from our sales, because of her committment and encouragement, to beautiful locations with NutriMetic Seminars, were memories that all of her Nutrimetics team and family will keep forever. Donna was fun, loving, giving, a true angel... may she rest in peace...we loved you. - Posted by: Raylene Snow & Karen James (Friends through our Nutrimetics Family!

Sorry to hear about your Mom. Ron and I have so many fantastic memories of the years we lived beside you, it is hard to even begin to share them. Your Mom was a wonderful woman and a great neighbour. - Posted by: Lorrie and Ron (friends) on: Sep 11, 2012

I remember Donna & her Dad Joe from the Beach. She and Cal became good friends of ours especially when my late husband Brian and Cal started curling. Donna took her tap dance class to put on a concert at the Shriners HOSPITAL. I have alot of wonderful memories and only wish we hadn't lost touch, we were transferred to Alberta then to B.C. Donna was a very wonderful and talented lady and I know she will be missed greatly. - Posted by: Eleanor Haywood Delta , B.C. (Old family friend from Grand Beach Days& Winnipeg) on: Sep 05, 2012

I was lucky enough to meet Donna because of my cousin Diane Legris & her friendship with Linda Bowes. We had some fun times together & laughter though not many as I live in Kapuskasing, Ontario, but when in the city visiting we usually had a chance to get together. She was such a lovely lady & my life has been enriched by knowing her. My deepest sympathy to her family & may caring thoughts of others bring you comfort. I know she will be in my thoughts as a person I was privileged to know. Doreen Trudel - Posted by: Doreen Trudel (friend) on: Sep 05, 2012

How saddened I am to hear of such a beautiful soul's passing. Words cannot truly express what a great lady Donna was and how greatly she will be missed. Donna acted as my 'mom' getting me ready at our wedding when my mom could not be there and I valued her just as much that day as I did as a child. I will miss her laughter, her smiling happy face and her great big hug whenever I would stop in to see her. Kelly, Chris, and Keri... You and your families will be in our prayers and wish that I could be with you on Sunday. - Posted by: Angie Tucker née Rands (Neighbor) on: Sep 05, 2012
