  I really admired Donna and her kindness. She was caring and sweet in a way that seemed so effortless. Even though I was not always the ideal guest as a teenager, she always welcomed me with a smile. Very sad to hear the news, condolences to John, Meg, Tom and all of your family

  Dear Tom and Family, we are deeply saddened by the news of Donna's passing. Linda brought her into our lives more than 50 years ago and we grew as friends then parents a life long treasure. I think Linda interceded today because I learned of Donna's passing this morning in time for Christine, Colleen and I to make the virtual service. Life at times requires change but the life-long bond formed through friendship never breaks no matter the distance or the absence of personal contact. We will miss you Donna, thank you for being our friend. I know Linda was there to welcome you into heaven. Rest in peace my friend and thanks for the memories. In Sympathy, The Cashman Family.

  Kay and Bill Hibbard

  So many memories going back to Luther League for Bill and Thiel for me. We loved her like a little sister. We couldn't wait for her to come to Greenville when she delayed college for a year to earn some money (at her Mom's diner, I think). We all tried to stay in touch over the years, but despite good intentions on both sides, it was never as often as we wished. Donna had a career and I worked intermittently and we were both raising families. I saw her and Karen at Bill's Mom's funeral and then at Mrs. Blocher's. Seeing that beautiful, sweet face in the obituary page this morning was a physical and emotional shock. I was in denial about her prognosis, always hoping that she would beat the odds with the support of her strong faith and loving family. I wish we could give all her loved ones a hug. We share in their grief, even thought their journey of coming to grips with her loss will be much more painful. With heartfelt love, Bill and Kay Hibbard

  To Donna's family, I first met Donna at Washington School, where we were both teaching many years ago. We often had lunch together and had a common faith. She was a wonderful teacher and friend. Ever Christmas when I made her sugared walnuts, I would think of her. I recent years, we discovered that we had the same oncologist, and unfortunately had something else in common. I will miss her, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Sue Burditt

  To Donna's Family & Loved Ones. I am truly saddened to learn that Donna has passed away. We were great friends at South Hills High School. She was Super Cute, Funny, Warm and Just a Great Person. I will always Love knowing Donna. We had many Classes together. Donna always credited Me with getting her through TAS....Trigonometric Analytical Statistics.....but we actually helped each other. The Photo I see here is Pure Donna. 100%. Just as I remember her. Please accept my Deepest & Heartfelt Sympathy. Joe Casato

  Your Friendship of 40 years was special. You had such a caring heart for all. We had fun doing the Malawi Lunches for over 15 years. We went through a lot of life experiences both positive & negative together. You gave your heart and soul to the members of Brentwood Presbyterian Church. We have been blessed to have you as our friend. Love, Ginny & Bob Bendis
