Cameron,
My heart is heavy today as I am in Florida and not there with you and my prayers have been for you and our family over the last 3 days. I am so glad we had the family reunion this summer to spend time with you and Donna and have a happy day together. Wish I could say something to make this easier for you but I don't know what that would be....just know that you are on my mind and in my prayers.
With love,
Judi and John

I have such a good memory of your loved one. My daughter Shannon and Cam were classmates. On graduation night Donna and her husband sat in front of me and my husband. Donna turned around to speak and when she did we both started laughing. We had on the same dress. Now some women would be torn out of their frame,not us! In fact, she said one of the nicest things to me. "I rather you have a dress like mine more than anyone I know". What a classy lady. I know her fight has been a long one but she is at rest now and enjoying some of that much earned peace. Keep you in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful woman. Wasn't the greatest place in the world to meet someone because I know she was sick. She was one of the nicest patients I have ever had. I am so sorry for you loss and I know she will be greatly missed. Just know that she is in a much better place and she is no longer suffering. She will always live on in your minds and your hearts. May God help heal your broken hearts and give you the strength to get through this sad time. May God bless you and your family. RIP Ms. Donna.

Donna was the most loving and kind person I've ever known and will know. I admire her strength in her fight against cancer. I admire her faith in God. She had more of those attributes in her little finger than I have in my whole being. I love her so much and each time I saw her that love grew. I wish I had taken the time to tell her all of this when she was still here. I'm proud to be her cousin.

What a wonderful inspiration Donna was to my life. I will always remember her kindness shown to me, Al, and Jackson when we first started attending Oak Grove. She was a wonderful Christian woman that set her life as an example for others. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time. May your memories keep her close to you always.
