She took every opportunity to sneak them junk food and soda. She enjoyed her Friday night Card games with family and friends. She loved to travel, tan, and enjoy an occasional amoretto sour. The Atlantis in the Bahamas was her home away from home. Holidays, and summer BBQ's with her family were very special to her. After every family gathering an envelope was waiting for each family member with the photos from that event. She shared some of her most special moments with her sister and best friend Cindy. Donna was a selfless person who put everyone she loved before herself. There was no conversation off limits with her. She never wavered on her ways even throughout her fearless battle.
