    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,
    Leslie

    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.

    Oh no!
    Oh no, I am so sad. She didn't want to die, no one wants to die, but she had so much, a wonderful family, a great attitude. She wanted to live, dang it!! We wanted her to live, I wanted her to live! I am just in denial, so wonderful, she was so wonderful!

    Donna, of you are up there smiling down at us! Know how much we are going to miss you, I am devastated!

    My condolences to the family!

    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.

    Sincerely,

    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*

    So Sorry
    I am so sorry to hear that your mom passed away today. She was a very supportive person to all on this board. She will be greatly missed. Just know that she has helped a lot of people on this board with her positive thoughts. Your mom is at Peace now and she will be with you forever in your hearts. God Bless. Margaret

    So very sorry
    As you can see by the previous posts, your mom was something special to us all. Not only was she a cheerleader for us in good times and bad, but she expressed such love and caring about your family.

    Too often we wait until it is too late to say 'thanks' or 'I love you', but I think we all got the chance to make sure Donna knew she was much cared for.

    It is difficult to have a loved one pass out of this world into the next, but as you said now she is no longer in pain. I am sure she is having a reunion with all those from this board who have gone before her.

    Please stay in touch and let us know how you and the rest of the family are doing. Since we all considered Donna 'family', by extension you, your siblings and dad are 'family' too.

    Take care and may you all find peace in remembering the good times with the lovely Donna.

    It just hurts a lot
    When I read a post about her earlier on facebook, it took my breath. I knew about her circumstances, but I just felt like she had such a special light about her. I couldn't see her going...

    Heaven has certainly gained a beautiful angel. I will always miss Donna.

    *hugs*

    I am shocked like everyone else
    An angel went home to Heaven today. I remember how helpful she was when I first started on the board and had so many questions.. She answered them for me. Your Mom was loved by so many on his board. I hope all the comments help your family through this. Thanks for letting us know so quickly. Bless your Mom and your family.

    Shana, I am also at a loss
    Shana, I am also at a loss for words. Your mother was one of the first people to welcome me to the boards and always had encouraging words for everyone. She was an amazing person. I will be praying for your family. Your mom will be missed by so many. Love, Brenda

    Dear Shana
    I am so very sorry that your Mother is gone. Like all of us here, I will miss your Mom and was grateful for the short time I knew her through this Board. Your Mom was one of the first people who welcomed me here. This is just terrible. I mean, it's good she is no longer in pain--but still just terrible that she's had to leave us. I am so sorry. Like others have said, Heaven has truly gained an angel and I know her presence will always be felt here and with you. I am holding you and your family in the Light for healing and peace.
    Love to you and your family,
    ~Audrey
