John, you and your family are in our hearts and thoughts at this very sad time. May the light and the strength of your mother help carry you through it.
Donna was a true friend. The day I met her, when she first started volunteering at Cambrie’s Little Boxes, I just knew we would be great friends. She was so kind, she always had a smile for you. Her life stood for something. When she talked about her family, she was so very proud of each one of them. She never complained about a thing although she could have as her previous illness with cancer were not easy. She will be missed by us all but we are all better people for having known her. Rest my dear friend….you have worked so hard. Our sympathies to the family at this time. Remember what a great Mom, Sister, Grandmother and Greatgrandmother you had with fondness. She will be watching over you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, John, Suzette, Meghann and Ryan. I hope you all find comfort and strength in the warmth and caring of friends and family. Please let us know if we can help in any way.
Today you lay to rest a Monarch of your family.. The lessons she instilled in her children through out her life , will be carried on for generations.
So today is a celebration of a daughter, wife , Mother, Grandmother and G Grandmother, Be proud that you can say, she was a role model to all .
To Bruce and Genette and family , our condolences to you all and may your healing time we be in awesome memories .
Bob and Elizabeth Hardwick
