Sorry to hear of donnas passing Donna and I were friends when we were young thinking of you John and family
Heartfelt condolences to you John and your family. I was very saddened to read of Donna’s passing. We worked together in ward 10 , Southland hospital. She was a wonderful caring nurse and a valued member of the ward ten nursing family. She will be greatly missed by all that you knew her. xxx
My deepest sympathies to you John and all the family and grandchildren. Donna was so generous in her care of others and I know that her celebration of life will reinforce how much she gave so willingly to everyone. She will be sorely missed.
