Growing up with friends like the Lusignan and Wall families was a blessing. Your families were always so happy with great spirit and love. Dona was a kind person who will be missed. I was so sorry to hear the news today at church. May God bless Dona and welcome her into his heaven. God bless Dona’s family and loved ones.
I still can’t believe this has happened. You have made such an impact on so many people. You have always been so positive! I’ll never forget back in 2006 I was in the hospital for a week. I woke up to find you and Carol there blowing bubbles lol, you took me to one of my very first musicals, you were the first Aunt that Logan called! You are going to be so greatly missed. I love you and will miss you. Logan speaks about you often and talks about about how much joy you brought him! Rest In Peace! Xoxo
To the amazing woman I always looked up to and loved so very much. How I wish for just one more conversation, one more of your hugs, and to hear your infectious laugh just one more time. You will remain in my heart forever and I will truly miss everything about you❤️I love you my sweet angel
How you watched the family grow and always had a special place as part of our family; another mentor, aunt, and best friend to share. I will miss seeing you and hearing your infectious laugh. I know Sue and yourself will be watching down on the family while you both catch up. ? We love you endlessly.
Sincere condolences to Dona’s family and friends. I had the privilege of working with Dona since 1996. She always had her co- workers best interests at heart and went out of her way to say hi and ask how we were doing. My lasting memory is the kindness and thoughtfulness she expressed after each of my parents had passed. R.I.P. Dona. you will be sorely missed.
I still can’t believe this is real. You’ve been around ever since I was born, you were like family. I’ll always remember the times we spent together and your infectious laugh. I wish Payton had a chance to meet you. I will make sure to show her pictures and tell her all about you. You will be missed dearly.
Dona will be sorely missed. I will miss all of her post about the old fashion dresses on Facebook. May she Rest In Peace.
