RIP Donna

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.

She will be missed very much. She has touched so many of us in this crazy world.

My life is better because of Donna

I feel exactly like Beth does.

i'm angry, and sick to my stomach opver this. Donna was, and always will be someone very special to me. Peace to you, Shana, and your three sibling, and dad. my heart is truly with you.

Shana ..like so many have already posted. Your mother was one of a kind..so special and such an inspiration to us all. I am deeply saddened by her passing. 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.
Praying for comfort,
Anna

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,

Alice

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.

George and Tina

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!

Cheryl

I can't believe Donna is gone. She was an angel on earth and will be in Heaven. We are all so very, very sorry. Sending you, Shana, and your family our sincerest sympathy. Donna was a blessing to all who knew and loved her.

Hugs and Healing,
Priscilla

My heart goes out to you and your family. She was such a special woman who always had an encouraging word. I, as the others have said, will truly miss her.

Sheri

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,

Debbie

Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. She will be a special angel watching over you all from heaven. God will welcome her into his loving arms and she will suffer no more. Remember that everyone is reunited again in heaven. God bless you.

HUgs,
Sara

Shana - My heart and prayers are with you, your family and Angel Donna. Your Mom brought so much light and positivness to all of us in our various levels of be scared, mad, etc at this damn disease.

I hope your Mom can feel all of us as we send love and hugs...

Peggy

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,
Leslie
