This was bittersweet when I read of Ms Donna's death. I am sorry for the grief the family and friends are feeling, but I cannot help but rejoice to think about her reunion with Bill and their daughter. I imagine her first glimpse of Jesus in Heaven and cannot help but smile with big tears in my eyes. She was a dear friend to Lisa and me, such an encourager. I have thought of her through the years and prayed for her as I know she would for me. What a joy to have known her and call her friend.

Mrs. Donna was very sweet and made a point to make a guest and new member fell welcome. She was always will to help you if you needed. And most important she new when you just needed a friend to talk to and she listen to you and always had a verse to help you. When she was moved to Texas she was missed and know I know she is in Heaven with our Lord and is Happy.

Steve and family,
I (too) have many happy memories of your mom (and your dad, Mr. Fergie).
Your mom faithfully drove us kids to Choctaw to swim lessons. Fun times!
It is hard to let go but I know you know they are at home in heaven now living painfree and you will see them again.

Mrs. Donna held my heart. She was such a fun loving lady whom I will truly miss. I can’t wait until I get to see her again singing, dancing and rejoicing with the Lord. Donna always told me how she loved the song Amazing Grace and we would sing together. I love you Mrs. Donna. Steve and family myself and the staff will always think of you and your family as our family. Love to all

So sorry to hear about Mrs. Donna. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out! A big hole was left in our church when she and Ferg were no longer sitting in their pew. Absolutely the most faithful and gracious people! I loved how Mrs. Donna would kind of blush and giggle whenever you paid her a compliment. She loved and was so proud of her children and grandchildren. I know she is rejoicing now seeing Jesus, Ferg and precious Sharon. She was loved and respected by so many people. Love and prayers to her family.
