To the family of Donna,
I have known your Mother for a very long time. I met her through Deb Law. We have so many memories that are good. We went to Tulsa OK and got into trouble, all the horse shows and just general fun. I know she is looking down on all of us and smiling. My prayers go out to all of you. Lean on God during the diffucult times.
Love and prayers,
Vicki Tatman (one of the twins)

Jim, I am so sorry for your loss-things happened so quickly on Friday I can't imagine how difficult this is for you...thanks for letting us take care of Donna though-she was in the best place she could have been aside from home and we are always priviledged to care for loved ones and their family at such an intimate time. I will keep you in prayer in the coming weeks and hope you find comfort in the love that surrounds you.

Jim and family, I was very saddened to hear of Donna's passing. She was a very special person and she loved her family. She also loved each and every animal that she took in and cared for. Donna and I never met in person, but I don't think that we could have been any closer even if we had. I will miss her dearly but I know that she is in a better place now with no pain and suffering. May she rest in peace. And may you all be at peace and know that she is watching over each and every one of you.

Jim and family, my prayers go out to you and your children and extended family. Donna always talked about you and her children and family. I have never met Donna but knew for several years from online. Donna had a giant heart when it came to her family and the dogs she rescued she even named one After me and sent me pictures. I loved Donna like a sister. I will miss her very much and her sense of humor. My prayers go out to you andall of your family, many will miss her she was a very special person I will never forget her. God bless.

Dear Jim, Jason & Jill, Chris & John, Michael and the rest of the family....I felt so blessed to have known Donna...she and I had a good many laughs over our shared granddaughter, and I am so saddened she will not be around for Hannah's accomplishments, as she so wanted to...I am heartened by the thought that she is no longer suffering, as I am sure she did...she will always be in our hearts, for she was a loving and generous person, and I am sure she is looking down upon each and every one of us right now...please take care of yourselves and each other in the days and weeks to come....let us know, of course, if there is anything at all we can do for you.

I met Donna 10 years ago at an AOL outing. She always had kind things to say about her family and loved you all very much. She always had a smile and could make most anyone laugh. She loved with all her heart and soul and was passionate about her family and friends. I had lst touch with her since i married but thought of her often. I am sorry for your loss and remember her with fondness and gratitude( she once took me to the hospital for outpatient surgery when my famiy could not be there. Our memories will bring us comfort in the days to come as well as the knowledge that she is at peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you all.
