Miss Donna, You'd be happy to know that I wore the skirt that reminds me most of YOU today. It's the black/white one that has a black tulle' lining that you called me a "hussy" for wearing. You thought it was a slip and it was hanging from the bottom. No offense taken since I knew your comment was all in fun.  I miss your sense of humor, sweet smile, and box of goodies that you kept at your desk for everyone to share. Love and hugs to you! Linda MacEachen

Hello my friend,
I am watching 20/20, they are talking about close friends. I can't believe
what a friend would do to another friend. I feel so blessed to have had
you in my life. We were lucky to have met in the generation that we did. Even now you would look and say we were lucky and blessed.
I miss you so much and remember so many special times we shared.
The gully, Sight & Sound, St. James Church, Las Vegas, Libby's dress shop. I can't tell you all I remember. Shoup Park, the field where they built Hughes Jr. Hi., the time my parents were gone and we went to the store at midnight for no reason. I miss you so much, I can't imagine
how much Larry misses you.  I was so blessed, I miss you so much. Even though we didn't see each other often, I knew you would be there for me and me for you. Know I love you and miss you so much. I can't tell you all the things that pop into my head when I think of you and I.  I am so sorry we couldn't have had one more time together. 
Love always,

Carol

Hi Sweetheart,
I needed to tell you that your sister, Joanne, passed away suddenly on the 27th of February. In thinking about this, I'm sure that you already know this. I continue to miss you so much everyday. I'm hoping God will comfort Al. I am asking God to comfort your brother Bill also. He is missing both of his sisters so much. I will always think of you for guidance. I will love you always.

Happy Birthday Mom.
  I still think of you often. I smile when I think of you pumping your fist and saying "Yeah!" Hard to explain but, I can see it clear as day. I also remember how you use to bring me close when I was younger and be stern yet loving at the same time so your message was clear and I knew what was important and will make sure I take the same tone when I need to with Tyler. ;-) Thankfully, not for awhile... Love you so much Mom.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! I have been thinking and remembering a lot about you lately. I miss you so much and I am trying to focus on knowing that we will be together again sometime.

Hello my friend. Happy Birthday!! Wish you were here. I go over your pictures and it makes me smile. Hope when it's my turn, you are the one to meet me at the gate, that's if I go that way. Always remember you are loved very much. Hope you are the one. Michael, my youngest

Hi Sweetheart,
My birthday was yesterday and I missed our celebration so much. I felt that you were with me and that felt good. Jennifer and Jason both called me to wish me a happy birthday. They are the greatest pieces of our marriage and are wonderful. We will always be thankful for your guidance.

Thinking of you on this rainy day...remembering how you drove in the snow storm to join us gals for a fun night out! You were in a dream a few nights ago. We had a great talk just as we had when you were here. Sadly it ended with me telling you I wished I could have said goodbye and then I woke up. I hate when that happens. I think of you often and miss you even more. xoxo

To my best friend, what a tribute your husband has made for you.
I wish we could have gotten together just one more time before you left.
So many memories and good times to remember. It's not the same to remember them alone. I can still hear your laughter. You were a great friend to have. I miss U.

I love you Donna, more than ever. I am still trying to put the story of our life together and post it here. They say time heals and I'm hoping that it will to some degree. More and more I realize how much I loved you and how your guidance made me who I am. My love for you will never die and our wonderful memories will always live in my heart. I will talk to you later my love.

Donna I think of you every day and miss you very much! You will always be a role model of how to live life to the fullest. I loved how you would tell it like it is and were never afraid to voice your opinion no matter what. I miss your laugh and hearing "Mama" every day as I would cross the parking lot. Miss you so much! Love you always. XOXO

What a lady! I know she is riding her bike in HEAVEN!! I worked with her at Publishing Company, what a inspiration she is! Donna was a coast to coast rider, we always talked about where our next ride would take us,where our next journey and adventure on our motorcycles would be. My Heart goes out to her FAMILY! May she ride in PEACE!

I worked w/ Donna at APC & really didn't get to know her until 5 years ago. We both shared a passion for riding & shared stories of our adventures & all the places we had riden. I was impressed to hear all the Capitols she had riden to & admired her for that & her genuine personality. Every time we saw each other we would say; "It's a great day to ride"! We will all miss you here at APC!

We will all miss Donna at APC. Everytime I walked through the Advertising Department, I could always count on Donna to yell out "Hi, Carl" loud enough for everyone to hear. That was usually followed by a comment that would make me smile. We love you Donna.

Donna passed way too soon but her memory and love live on with Jenn, Jason, their families and you, Larry. Love and peace to all of you. Larry, the life you created with Donna and how the two of you lived your life together was something many only dream of. I consider myself blessed to have shared birthday cakes, laughter and smiles with Donna.  ~ Mary

I will miss seeing your smiling face at the Journal everyday. It has been a great honor having known you as both a co worker & friend. You were always willing to help me by driving me home when I had a bad headache. Peace be with you always.

Larry, Jennifer, and Jason, I've had the pleasure of working with Donna at APC for several years and is one lady that I will never forget. She was funny, giving, fiesty, and always had the "good" sweets and gadgets at her desk. God Bless you and your family during this difficult time and hold all of those special "Donna" memories close to your heart. God Bless, Linda

Halloween costumes

December 29, 2019
Hi Sweetheart,
Halloween was one of your favorite days. You were very creative and made many costumes. I found this picture of a Halloween in Agua Dulce with costumes you made for both of us as M&Ms. I love it because it shows your beauty and happiness! Jason was at the bottom and maybe Jennifer was taking the picture. Picture is in the photos.

Good Times Good Friends Share

Summers at Point Magu. Fishing with your Dad.  The officer's club.  Body surfing at Zuma beach. You getting sun burned.  Going to fellowship on Friday nights then to the Corbin theater. Sneaking out at night when we slept at each others house.  Smoking in the alley. 
Your wedding, my wedding.  The first day we met in  1963 when you were walking home from school.  Summers at Shoup Park pool.  Playing at the park, "King of the Mountain".  Riding cardboard down the hill by Shoup Park.  Renting moe-peds.
The Christmas we both got our "leather" coats.  The time you used my Dad's double edge razor and cut the hell out of your leg.  Smoking out of your bathroom window and thinking no one would know.  Going over to your house after school and having rye toast.  Going to guitar lessons with you and your Dad.  Watching you dance.  You were great!!   Joanne driving your Dad's HUDSON to the drive-in with, Sue Erickson, you and I.  

Sooo many memories.  I truly miss you.

Love,
Carol
