October 31, 2020 at 10:25 pmMy sympathies to the family for losing their sweet Mom so suddenly. She was a very special lady; such a good cook and baker, very smart, attractive, and kind. She loved to play Bridge and did it so well. I do have many good memories of time spent with Donna and Chuck.

November 1, 2020 at 9:30 amMy heart felt sympathies to Donna’s family. I went to school with Terry and wanted her to know that we are thinking or her family today. My Mother pasted away after a long illness in September, and I know the feeling of loss she is going through at this time. May God blessing the family and give them comfort in the cherished memories of Donna and in the understanding they will unite again.

I am so sorry about the loss of your Mom. We of course knew her for a very long time and I always was so fond of her as one of my parents friends. I remember the butter brickle cake (I think it was?) she made. Everyone loved it.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With Our Condolences,
Cindy (DeGolia) Hirschman
