I am so sorry for you loss. I did not know Donna well, but she must have been a great person and mom to raise such amazing children, as well be such an influential part of the Milford Community. She made a difference in the lives of so many and that is the best legacy, I think, a person can leave behind. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family...
Sincerely,
Carrie

Dennis not having Donna in this world is a loss for all of us. She was always a pleasure to speak with and be around. Her wonderful smile and giggle brought warmth to a room. Knowing that she is at peace with the Lord, who meant so much to her, I hope brings you and your family comfort. Our deepest heartfelt sympathies.
Chris, Jeanne & Ray Terrell.

Dennis and Family, I am sorry to hear about Donna. I know it has been a long experience but I know she went through this as best she could. I have seen this with my brother-in-law, though he was 39 at the time. It is very hard for a while and there will be times down the road you will need to remember her with her smile and know she would want you to carry on a live life, enjoy life and the company of others. Every time I ever saw Donna, from as far back as I can remember in school, she smiled. I will remember her with her smile, the twinkle in her eyes and the warmth of her heart. I know you were all such a great joy to her, one could tell how her face lit up when she spoke of you. Now her life struggle is done, we are glad we knew her and while we will miss her, we take comfort that she no longer has to fight to live. I will remember her especially when I do next year's Relay for Life. Sincerely, John Eaton, Classmate of CHS 1969

Dennis and family, So sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I know how close you both were with Deb and Bruce and Deb has kept me posted on Donna's health issues. I always remember Donna years ago dipping ice cream summers at the Dairylea store and thinking that was tough work for a young lady. I feel for your loss having experienced the same recently. At least her suffering is over and she is in a beter place. God Bless, Don Bond

Donna was one of the kindest most caring person I ever had the pleasure to know. She was such a huge part of the church family and one of the reasons I personally stayed at the church. She always had a smile for
everyone even when she wasn''''t feeling well. My heartfelt symathies to all of the Kling family.
Sincerely,
Marsha Hastings and Family

Donna was a beautiful Christian woman who always had the light of the Lord shining through. Met as neighbors in Seminole, Fl, and were there for each other through the births of our children, play dates with Spaghetti O''s, and I always had great joy just being with her. Even after you moved to Mass., I could pick up the phone, and it always seemed like we had just seen each other the previous day. My husband and I were blessed to spend time with her in July. She was so very happy about the upcoming wedding and spoke so lovingly about her wonderful family and grandchildren. She will be missed terribly - but take comfort that she no longer feel pain. She is in the loving arms of Jesus. Love to you all.

Just learned of Donna''s passing and want to express our sincere sympathy and profound sadness at the loss of this beautiful woman here on earth. Donna was my daughter Katie''s pre-school teacher and she remains her favorite teacher of all time (she is in 11th grade now). Donna brought such support, love, and kindness to our family and many others. I can only imagine the loss you are experiencing. With sympathy, Becky Annis and family
