I was heartbroken to hear of Donna´s passing. We shared not only time as coworkers, but memories far beyond the workplace-days filled with laughter, fun filled adventures, and the kind of inside jokes that never really fade.

Donna brought such warmth and light into every space, whether it was a team meeting or a beachside stroll. I´ll forever cherish the joy we shared and the friendship that grew from it.

Wishing peace and comfort to all who loved Donna, and I will hold tight to the memories that continue to make me smile through the tears.
