Your Mom was a wonderful person. We all loved her very much. We have missed her here on the board. She was so proud of all of you + it was clear her family was the most important part of her life. Please always remember how much she was loved + how much she loved all of you. I am so sorry for your loss + I will always remember your Mom. She gave so much comfort, humour + hope to so many here. Thanks for letting us know.

Donna..at peace
Your Mama had the most beautiful smile and the lovliest personality. She was such a pleasure to know in the short time I have been on this board.
I am heartbroken for your family's loss of such a great Mother, wife, and friend.
Take care girls & love one another. It was so very obvious how much Donna loved you all.

I cant hardly type I am so $^&%#^ pissed and hurt, why does this have to happen....I miss her....
I wanted to edit this to let you all know how wonderful I think your mother was. I am so very sad today and will be for days to come. She was so important to me and to so many as you can see by all the post. I am a better person for having had the honor of knowing her. I know she loved you all so very much, please know that love will continue even with her being gone. Dont think you kids can get away with things either, if I know your mom she will be watching...*SMILE*
Take care, God Bless you all

Dear Shana,
I'm at a loss for words, as I'm in shock to read this. I'm so very sorry you've had to lose your mom. We've lost someone great on this board, too.
May God bless you and comfort you and your family. As you said, I'm glad the pain stopped, as she's in heaven now.
Hugs of comfort,

So sorry
Shana, Chey and family -
I'm so sorry to hear Donna has passed on. She was a tremendous inspiration to all of us here - always upbeat, and cheering everyone on. Donna truly is an angel - she helped so many people sharing good information, but most of all her love of life and family. While I know it will be a relief not to see her in pain anymore, it still is never easy to say goodbye to a special person. You are all in my prayers for strength and peace as you go through the coming days, getting used to life without Donna here on earth with you.

Sincerest Condelences
Shana and family:
Thanks for your post to let us know. I just got in from the hospital and logged in and saw this first - I had to sit here a minute and then the reality sank in. Many feelings washing over me right now.
But, I just wanted to say what so many have already said - Donna touched so many lives and all of you in her family were her #1 priority and she loved you very much and told us how much.
It's still shocking and I thought this day would never come. I'll miss her voice and I'll miss her laughter and so many things about her. I know I was better to have known her than not to - she touched me in ways that I will always remember.
So, her Lion roars one more time for her - Donna, I love you!
Sincerest condolences to Wes and her children.

You and your family will continue to be in my prayers and thoughts. Wish I could do more but know that the wonderful memories you have of the wonderful times you have will always be with you and will give your much joy and happiness. Her pain is now over and you must always remember how hard she fought to stay with you and how very much she loved each of you.

Dear Shana,
Your mother had a spark and a sparkle. She inspired so many of us. I, too, can't believe I won't be seeing her latest words of wisdom.
Yes, she loved her family above all. You know you had a treasure. I'm glad that she's not in pain anymore, that she is no longer burdened by her ailing body.
Wishing you comfort and peace,

I honestly feel that Heaven has a beautiful angel watching over all of us now and even though she has passed she will always be in our hearts. I kind of feel like we all have our own special gaurdian angel that will help give us strength when we need it and pass some prayers on for us.

We are so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I was so hopeful that the doctors had something up their sleeve to help her, but, that was not to be.
A special gift you mom gave to everyone on this board, and I do mean everyone, was her gift of friendship. As a newcomer, she made us feel less scared of this disease, always dished out hope and encouragement, and was the first to be happy for someone with good news. Even when her own treatment was not going as well as she would have liked, she was the first to come on the board and tell someone with good news how happy she was for them. That is a true gift, you felt it in her words.
The next few days will be a blur and so very difficult but I hope you will come back to the board and let us know how your family is doing for we care so very much.

Wishing you comfort...
To Donna's Family:
I join you in taking comfort in the fact that Donna is no longer suffering. I know, though, that your family's grief is measureless. I certainly hope you find peace in your memories and in the knowledge that your mother and wife touched so many lives.
From her many posts here, it was clear that Donna possessed extraordinary qualities: true kindness, thoughtfulness and tolerance. Of equal importance, her ebullient personality was a gift that lightened the dark moments that come with a cancer diagnosis for many on this board. In my own case, Donna reached out to me and to my husband during times that were very difficult and I will always keep a memory of her kindness in my heart.
Above all, you should know how very many times her posts, both in bold statements and subtle asides, spoke of her love for and pride in her family.

Huggggs Shana, Chey, Zack and Tiffany!
I think everyone has pretty much summed it up here how important your Mom is to everyone on this Board. That doesn't help right now with how you all must be feeling as reality sets in, but down the road you will be able to read back here and learn that your Mom was a huge part of this community and helped so many people adjust to their battle with this disease.
I know your family will stick together and get through this very, very, sad time, but know that although your mom's body failed her, her energy and love will always be with you. No one can ever take that away and no one was loved as much by her as you kids were.
Take it one day at a time and celebrate on those days that you feel better... never feel bad because you feel you can smile or have fun with your friends again. Your mom would want that and the sooner you can feel like your old selves and be able to have fun again, the happier she will be to see this happen.
Hugggggs to all of you!

I am so sorry to hear this
Shana,
I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family during this time. I too lost my mom to colon cancer (I am 27) 5 months ago and it was so hard to watch those last few weeks. Your mom is no longer in pain and I'm sure was blessed by the wonderful care your family gave her. She was a wonderful woman who gave so much encouragement to many on this board, including myself when my mom was first diagnosed. You can be proud that you had such a wonderful mom!
Much love and prayers,

Dear Shana and Family,
I, like so many others have been truly blessed by your Mom. She has been everything to everyone in so many different situations. She has always spoken straight from her heart and that is what we all need here. What a precious woman. I know how much she loves you all and wanted to always be here for you. I also know that she will continue to live on in our hearts. When you look around you will see her beauty in all that is beautiful, you will feel her presence all around you. She loved you so dearly, she will never really be gone as her memory will always be with you. Another friend in heaven.
I am glad that she is no longer in pain and I hope you can forget the suffering and only remember the good times.
Big Hugs and Prayers,

Your mother was a great asset on this board and helped many get through some very tough times. She will be missed more than words can say. One thing is for sure, she loved you kids very much and was so proud of you. You should always remember the loving mother that she was. May God be with her, and your family during this time of grieving. You are always welcome on this board.

Thank you Shana
for letting us know about your mom's passing. I'm at a loss too about the news. I'm holding you and your family in the light and want you to know what an awesome person your mom was to all of us here. By her example of struggling with the diagnosis at first and then moving through the process to embracing her life, she encouraged me, and, as you can see, many others here. That is quite a legacy.
My love and care to you and your family,

So Sorry for your loss,I too
So Sorry for your loss,I too am in shock. I did not expect to hear this anytime soon. Your Mom was a great and caring lady and will be missed everywhere. I too lost my Mom many years ago but to brain cancer. Today is actually the 15th aniversary so this brought an extra tear to my eye. Time is a wonderfull healer but don't rush it. Take your time grieving and embrace the saddness since it often brings forth the best memories.
A thought; Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

My condolences. In the short time I knew Donna from this board, she has helped me by sharing her experience, love, strength and humor. You should feel proud of her and remember that what she did in life lives on in the people she helped. Her bravery helped me in my dealings with the disease. I'm sure she was even more then that to you all, and wish you the strength to get through this tough time.

Hi I heard this news this
Hi
I heard this news this morning- but on my phone computer all day and really can't type out on that thing!
Your mom was so special to all of us Shana. She was so full of life and living- I remember how thrilled she was to take you guys to the ocean! I am so glad she was able to do that and give you guys a wonderful memory! She was so proud of all of you and I know there is no way she wanted to leave you! But Donna was so full of grace and acceptance- we all learned so much from her about life and living it. I am never going to forget it!
I do believe she is in a better place, she is with her Mom and Dad, and what a homecoming they are having!
*hugs*
