Dear Debbie, Josh, Adam and Family,I was so saddened to hear that Donna passed away. Donna’s grandparents lived near me and I remember playing with her as small children when she visited them,and then getting to be friends at Boonton High School. We had a lot of fun and I will always remember her big smile and warm personality. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sincerely, Joan
Dear Adam, Josh, Debbie and Joe,
Donna was like my 3rd Sister. Our entire Family loved her. Quick with a beautiful smile and excitement, yet always had a special twinkle in her eyes when speaking
of her Boys. Donna took many paths in her life. The most memorable one for me will allways be the one from our house to hers. Love, Bev
Donna and Richard lived one block south of us. They were the best of friends. I have always had the hightest regard for both of them. I am so sorry to learn of her passing. They leave a big hole in our hearts. May she and Richard rest in peace and happiness for all eternity. Tim Elmer
I was a good friend of Donna’s in elementary school and at Boonton High School, and cared about her very much. However, I moved to the west coast for college and lost touch. I enjoyed catching up with Donna at recent Boonton High reunions. My condolences to her children.

To Donna’s Family, Donna was a member of my book club until very recently.I always liked to hear what she had to say about our book choices. She was also always the best dressed one there. A VERY classy lady.I’m so glad our paths crossed. My thoughts are with you all.
