Donna was such an important part of our class. She aloways did so much for our class and was held in high esteem. We dated in our Senior year, so I am deeply saddened.
Donna worked on all our High School Reunions. I am sure she is planning a High Shool Reuinion right now, and it will be a great one.

Donna sounds like I should have stayed in New Jersey and gotten to have known her better.
A special person.

Donna and I were friends throughout highschool and afterwards although we didn't see each other with much frequency I did take the photos of her wedding when she asked and they did turn out as nonprofessional as I was, but she was pleased enough. My most vivid memory of her was when we all put those plays on (Ask Any Girl" comes to mind) through out our last years at PRHS she was always there to help and contribute. She still will be.

Happy Birthday, Donna. You are missed. We shared the same birthday so I cannot celebrate without thinking of you, too. I hope you're preparing a High School Reunion for us in Heaven.
