Donna when dad was ill you were so amazing to my sister and I. If not for you we would've never have been able to nurse dad back to health. You were truly caring and so very kind. We will miss the laughs when you used to visit. Dad is a better person because of you so thank from the bottom of our hearts. Xx
Aimee-Leigh Gibson, Invercargill
Donna was the only person that I could talk to and she understood and by the end of her visit we would be laughing so hard. She always showed me what the grandkids were doing on her phone and that she was off to boxing and then home to Ross. She will be so missed but the memories of her are still there. My deepest condolences to all her family. Rest in peace Donna.
