I am truly lost for words trying to say goodbye to my aunt Donna who was so much more than that to me Donna was like a mother to me
Donna never once complained no matter what she was going through No matter how she felt her answer was always the same I’m good How are you I will never forget the night she sat us down and gave us the bad news From that day on she carried everything with such strength and never complained
Donna was truly one of a kind She had her own style and loved looking well always getting her nails done and never letting anything stop her She loved her little trips to Dunnes loved a bit of shopping and most of all she loved to laugh She was full of jokes and you definitely needed thick skin to be around her but that was her and that’s what made Donna so special
Right up until your very last breath you never lost that spark
I could write forever about you and it still wouldn’t be enough Donna there will never be another like you I will carry you with me always
Gone too soon at 53 but loved for a lifetime and beyond 🤍
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND WILL MISS YOU FOREVER DONNA 💔🪽
