I can’t believe she’s gone now; she went so quickly – I didn’t even realize she was sick. She often was in the lobby in the evening with some of the other seniors in our building, and they’d open the door for me when I came home from swimming at the club next door on our street (- after work, when I would be hungry & tired). She was always very friendly & pleasant, had an easy laugh, and chit-chatted with me in the lobby & elevator. I told her a few times I meant to invite her over, but that didn’t work out unfortunately (I waited too long for “the right time” – and when the apartment was “clean enough”). I will miss her very much. Love to you all.
Dear Rick & Family
We were saddened to hear about your Mom. I remember your Mom as a great lady, always smiling & laughing.
She never said an unkind word about anyone. Our thoughts are with you & your Family.
Peter & Honey
Rick, Barb and family,
We just want to say how very sorry we are. Your mom was was such a wonderful person and always so full of life.
I remember when your mom and dad lived right behind my mom in Grand Bend. Your mom was such a hoot!! She was always feeding the birds and anything else that came around!
I think for me the most strongest memory of her will always be her love of animals.
I’m sure that she has already given a home to 5 or 6!!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Donna will be missed. As a long time neighbour, I was blessed with her kind words for both myself and my daughter MacKenzie. There were many conversations over the years and many times when Peter was still with us, that we chatted as I washed my vehicle on the side of the building. My thoughts and prayers are with Donna’s family. She was a very special lady. Debra Suchard
