Your smile, loving nature and charisma will forever be missed. The world just lost an angel to heaven…Until we meet again my dear friend, Rest In Peace. Love, Renee Bomanz
Donna loved her family and friends. She had so many friends from her school days in Maryland Heights, then onto Miss Hickey‘s school, to KMOX and to her friends in real estate. Donna was always the life of the party. We will all miss her beautiful smile, her flair for fashion, and her dazzling personality.
Donna was a such sweet lady and always a pleasure to be around. I met her while I’m college with Ryan. Our group of friends always loved when Ron and Donna would visit and they really became one of our gang. They would attend our fraternity date parties with all of us kids (at the time) which was always something we looked forward to.
My sincere condolences to Ron, Sean, Ryan, and Lauren.
I had not seen Donna in quite a while but she was a lovely lady, fun to be around, and loved by many. Rest In Peace Donna.
Donna was such a sweet lady. I’ll treasure her and Ron’s friendship always. With loving thoughts!
Love you dear cousin. So many wonderful memories.
Donna knew I got up early so she called me every couple of days (6am) to see what was happening! I always smiled when I saw her name light up on my phone. She was always upbeat and giggly. We had many laughs and I miss those morning calls, our coffees, our luncheons, and our happy hours. I have never heard my good buddy say anything unkind – always positive and encouraging. I miss her everyday! KRAZK
Donna was a wonderful person & a blessing to know. Love, peace & prayers for Ron & family.
Donna was always pleasant to be around and always had a big smile on her face . She dressed for success! I miss her at the office. Love and prayers for Ron & Family.
Dear Donna,
I did not know you, but I wish I had from all the wonderful and loving comments
made about you. You added so much to many lives, especially to your husband
and the family; and although today marks your passing, they will continue with
you remembering all the special smiles you gave to them. Now there’s an angel
who they know…
Donna was inspirational for Debbie. I wish the best for Debbie and hope she is doing well. I knew donna in my early life when she was in California. Debbie and I went there to visit. Best wishes for her family and may she rest in peace.
