The last time I talked to my Aunt Donna I blamed her for my addiction to Pepsi. I got to drink Pepsi at her house when I was a kid. Like her, I drank a lot of Pepsi and still do. Rather than deny she was the cause of my Pepsi problem she declared with pride " I can beat ANYONE in the Pepsi Challenge!" I laughed at this yet I had no doubt she could beat anyone who challenged her! We talked about memories we had of the time we spent together. I remember I put my face in a fountain of high pressured water when she took us all to the common to cool off one day. I laughed. As a side note: do not do this. I couldn't see for several seconds after I did this :- ) I told her I remember the time she and Big Tommy took us to a Haunted House Downtown. A women, dressed as a witch, chased my cousin Cathy down the street. Donna swore Cathy never fully recovered from this incident. Again I laughed. She mastered a language of broom taps on the ceiling and the floor of her apartment , that only our family understood in both buildings, meant to signal others. I later figured out depending on the number and length of taps, it was an indication either to come get food or to be quiet. The memories of the times I spent with her always cause me to giggle. I have a lot of good memories of time spent with her and her family!! Until we meet again to share a bottle of Pepsi..I send my love!

Mom I love you so much and miss you more then you could imagine. Ty for everything. I dont think this heartbreak will ever go away. Nothing has ever hurt as bad as this. I will never be able to get over sunday and get it out of my head. Im glad your not suffering anymore and are with everyone again but as selfish as it is I wanted you to stay here alot longer :( I pray that I did the right thing. RIP I wont ever not be missing you until I get to see you again someday.

My deepest sympathies to the entire family. Donna Paul and I had a special fun friendship when we were kids on Sydney St. She was such a beautiful Redhead. We had many laughs. I am shocked to learn of her passing, far too much tragedy for the family. I use to babysit for Diane's daughter Tina . Diane was so young and beautiful when she passed. Dominic was very good friends with my Mom and I as well as as my step family The Olivers. Dominic spent many nights at our house He had one of the best weddings I had ever been too The whole sydney street was rocking! Philip was lots of fun and the girls loved him. I did do some babysitting for Jeannie's kids. Jeannie was quiet and kept Donna and Paul in line.. I loved he whole family including Saber the black german shepherd. My love Donna and Paul, I am sure you are all sitting on a porch in heaven singing away! I remember so well two of your favorite songs..Torture and Johnny Angel...we had fun!!!!God bless you all. RIP

Very sorry for your loss. The family will be in my prayers.

Donna will be missed by many. I am amazed at the strength that this woman had. I will pray that she has found her peace. I know that she is in god' arms!
