No words can express my sorrow at hearing the news that Donna has gone on to her next adventure. Our golf games were always filled with laughter. I think Donna was the only one who kept score. My sincerest condolences to all the family, and as I am returning to Northern Ontario this year, I will continue to honk the horn each time I pass your old cottage.
So sorry for your loss. May all your wonderful memories help to get you through this most difficult time. Sending you all hugs.
There are no words to express my sadness at hearing my fun-loving friend Donna is gone.
Gus & I wish to express our condolences to Bill & all the family.
