May Donna rest in piece and her family all have peace in the thoughts that she is with God now. We only had the opportunity to meet Donna a few times but each time was a joy and she certainly could play sweet music. Our condolences go out to Jim & Darlene and the family.

I just found out about Donna's passing. As my brother earlier said, Donna and my Mom Jeanne Boyd were very good friends from their days working together at MRC and remained friends until my Mom's death 2 years ago, and showed much kindness to her during her lengthy illness that took her life. Amongst other things I will always remember the saxophone solo of "Amazing Grace" she played at my Mom's memorial service. She always had a smile on her face and cared deeply for family and friends, and God gifted her artistically both in music and beautiful paintings. Sincerest condolences to her family.
My sincere sympathy in the loss of your sister. She was a kind and thoughtful person and a beautiful oboe player. I'll miss her.
Someone new has entered our eternal home above, the Heavenly gate has opened wide to welcome one you love.
We cannot help the tears that fall, our hearts need time to grieve when earthly life has ended and a loved one has to leave.
Yet even in the saddest times we know our Savior lives and we can trust completely in the promise that he gives.
That in a glad reunion with the Lord our loved ones wait to welcome us in joy with no tear beyond the gate.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for I too know the pain of losing someone as special as a sister. May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon, all those in the 'memorial tombs' will hear the voice of his only-begotten son Jesus and 'come out' by means of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29) What a wonderful day that will be!
I was priviledged to play alongside Donna in many musical groups over the last twenty years--She was an excellent musician, artist, craftsperson; but more than that she practiced her faith daily in kindness, positivity and joyfulness. Donna could always find the good in a situation or person and spoke about that often. She showed appreciation daily--a wonderful person and role model. She will be missed. My condolence to her family--she spoke of as the best brother and sister-in-law.
Donna was a dear friend of my Mom, Jeanne Boyd. I always remember all the beautiful afghans that Donna had at her house that her mother made. I remember going to see Donna play the xylophone and many other instruments at Allen Park with my family. Donna was a very sweet lady and will be missed.
