My condolences from Norbert and Maria Melo
With heavy hearts we say goodbye to our dear friend and sister in Christ. A smile and laugh that would light up a room and will never be forgotten. Along with a heart that cared deeply for others even during her personal moments of struggles, and always spoke with a kind and encouraging word. These are traits she leaves us all to follow.
Our deepest condolences to Joe, Joey, Josh, Jess and their families along with Russ, Marion, Wendy, Juanita and families.
Until we gather again Donna.

Donna was a bright light and such a positive presence. While we haven’t seen her in recent years, both Mark and I have fond memories of our time getting to know her while at Saanich Baptist Church. We are saddened to hear about her passing and are sending much love and many prayers of comfort to her family. RIP Donna. With love from the Hawes family (Mark, Dorothy, Ashley, Colin & Jenny)

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
My sincerest condolences on the passing of Donna. I was shocked to read about it. I remember her from Glanford Elementary and years later our paths crossed through soccer events. Her beautiful smile and contagious laugh stayed the same from elementary to adulthood. The good ones always get taken too soon.
