Frank, I can only imagine the devastation that you feel for the loss of your beloved Donna, as well as for Chelsea for the loss of her irreplaceable mother. Please know that I am so sorry, that I am thinking of you, and that my prayers are with you both for strength as you struggle in your painful grief. I believe that we shall all be fully reunited with those we cherish one day. But in the meantime, we are still, and will always be, united by the deepest love that we share and hold fast to our closest memories. - Posted by: Chris Daly (Lunch Supervisor) on: Oct 19, 2014

My deepest condolences on the loss of Donna. She will be missed greatly by all who knew her. I met Donna while working at Sturgeon Creek II. The things I will remember most about her are her laughter, her love of family and her faith. She had a great infectious laugh and it is my first memory of her, we shared many laughs in the short time I worked with her. She was always talking about you, Frank and Chelsea. She loved you both so much. May you both find comfort in your memories and knowing how much she was loved by all. - Posted by: Cindy Wilson (Friend) on: Oct 07, 2014

In our adult lives, we rarely saw each other. I have lived on the West Coast since the 1960's. When our Mother, Mazie was in failing health 11 years ago, my Sister Patsy and I were in Winnipeg for three months. We were able to connect with Cousin Donna and had a very enjoyable lunch with her and got to meet Chelsea. I am so sorry her life was cut short so soon - she meant a lot to many. - Posted by: Anne Smith (Cousin (Donna's Mother, Aunt Anne, was one of my Father's Sisters)) on: Oct 06, 2014

Donna was a loving and caring person and her family was her world. All she ever wanted was the best for them and never worried about her own needs. Never to be forgotten by those whose lives she touched. - Posted by: Ray & Faye Mason (relative) on: Oct 06, 2014
