Our thoughts are with Donna’s family and friends at this sad time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Donna’s family. She is way too young to have left her loved ones. During my childhood the Denney’s were my 2nd family and we spent a lot of fun times together. Donna was always a loving and caring person and will be missed.
Remember all the good times.
Donna (Ross) & Bill Gilchrist

Dear Robin (“Beanie”): My family and I are so incredibly sad, shocked and sorry about the unexpected loss of your beloved mother, Donna. I know exactly what it is like to lose a mother suddenly. I am so especially sorry that it happened to you during this terrible pandemic. My family is so appreciative of how you supported us when we lost our mother Francenia — which meant so much to me personally as someone who has known you for nearly 40 years. That compassion meant a lot to us. My mind this weekend is filled with all sorts of wonderful memories of her, especially her wickedly fun sense of humor and infectious laugh. I will never forget the times I spent at your home. Those will always be my most cherished childhood and teenage memories. One of my favorite memories is when your parents took us to see Roxette in Toronto for my 16th birthday. That will always be one of the most special moments of my life. If you need anything — anything at all — please reach out to me or my family. Please send my warmest regards to your father, John, and the rest of your family. I love you all.
Ever yours,
Waris
So sorry to hear about your loss Don and family.
Dearest Robin, my brother Waris sadly shared with me this evening the passing of your mother Donna. My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Losing someone so very special can feel incredibly overwhelming. I am sending love to you during this trying time. A mother is with us always, first in her lifetime, then forever in our memory. Sincerely, Leesah
John and Family, Chuck and I send our deepest condolences on the passing of your wife, mother, and grandmother. My sister Donna was my best friend. We talked on the phone on a daily basis if not more throughout the day. I miss her so much, I cannot put it into words. John and Robin know we will be there for you today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life.
With All Our Love,
Chuck and Barb
