Donna was a wonderful, funny, bright member of our bridge group and an excellent player. We miss her very much. It was an honor to know her. Condolences to her family.

Jack and Donna were great friends of my mom, Carole Ulmer. She stayed in touch with Donna almost to the end of her long life. I hope they are all in heaven catching up.
My deepest sympathies to Mike and his family
