Heather, Riley and family, We are so sorry for your loss. Donna was a great person and will be grealy missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Your mother is always with you…

She’s the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street.

She’s the smell of bleach in
your freshly laundered socks.

She’s the cool hand on your
brow when you’re not well.
…
Your mother lives inside
your laughter. She’s crystallized
in every tear drop…

She’s the place you came from,
your first home.. She’s the map you
follow with every step that you take.

She’s your first love and your first heart
break….and nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, Not space…
Not even death….
will ever separate you
from your mother….

Heather, Meghan and Riley

Heather,Meghan and Riley – please accept my sympathy on the passing of Donna. I was so shocked to hear. I have so many great memories of my visits with your Mom over the years. She accepted my as part of the family and always treated me well. I remember how happy she was when your family came up to the farm for weekends. I looked forward to all the visits. If there is anything at all that I can do for you please let me know. Be strong and keep your wonderful memories close to your hearts.

Our deepest condolences with the loss of your, mother, grandmother, sister, friend and a wonderful woman. My husband Adam Nolasco grew up with Donna, I only met her 9 years or so ago in Palgrave. Loved seeing her, she always was smiling and loved to see our little girls. She was a beautiful woman and will truly be missed by all!

Lena & Adam Nolasco

Feeling broken-hearted, missing our dear friend Donna. Donna was a special individual. She was outgoing, generous, kind, passionate, honest and fun. Donna loved and adored her daughers and grandson. There was never a conversation where she did not mention them. She has left a void in our lives, she will be sadly missed but she will never be forgotten. Keeping you in our hearts and in our prayers.

With heartfelt sympathy,
John & Maureen (Nolasco)

May the good Lord comfort you Heather, Meghan and Riley during this difficult time. The loss of a mother is very hard but you need to cherish the good times. Your mom was a lovely person-always smiling. I remember her well from the days at PJP11. She made everyone feel welcome and was always around to lend a hand. I know she is in special place and that one day we will all meet again. Take care of each other.
Love Diana and Kieron Bayley(Mrs. B.)

Dearest Meghan, Heather and Riley, we are all thinking of you at this time of loss, and I can only imagine how difficult it is for you. Donna (Mrs. O) was such a wonderful woman, so much love in her heart for everyone. I am lucky to have been able to spend so many years growing up with her and seeing her wonderful smile. Someone as special as her can never be forgotten.

Lots of love and prayers.

Heather and Meghan, Your mom is in our hearts forever as are you both. Love Uncle Neil and Aunt Helen

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Donna was a very active member of our parent group at Pope John Paul II school many years ago. I will always remember her fondly as a wonderful mom and a warm, caring person who never hesitated to help others. It was so nice to see the beautiful, accomplished young lady you have become Meghan. It was a pleasure to teach you and to meet your wonderful mom through you.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

I have just learned of Donna’s passing and am truly shocked and saddened by the news. I met Donna years ago, through the Nolascos in Palgrave and always enjoyed her company and sense of humour. In more recent years I chatted with her often when I went into the store, and we always shared a chuckle or two while she helped me with my shopping. Her love for her daughters and her grandson were evident in all of our conversations. We also talked of travel, her trips with her sisters, her daughters and her journey to Australia which were all fond memories for her. I will miss her and wish to offer my heartfelt condolences to her entire family.

I just found out of Donna’s passing today, I am deeply saddened and will miss Donna terribly she was a loving, kind and non judgemental person who always found something nice to say to you. I wish I had found out earlier to pay my respects, to her daughters and grandson I am truly sorry for your loss. God bless and keep you strong my prayers and thoughts are with you in this very difficult time.

Dear Heather, Meghan and all Donna’s brothers and sisters,

I was deeply saddened upon hearing of Donna’s passing. She was a terrific lady and I was proud to call her my friend. We spent some really wonderful times together and created some memories that I will cherish forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincerely,
Lorne Clark

Dear Meghan and family,

Dear Heather,
I was so shocked and saddened this weekend to hear the news of your Mom’s passing. I wish I had found out in time to attend her funeral Mass. Your Mom was such a warm, caring person who gave myself and family lots of enjoyment when you and Jacqueline used to hang out together . I know she loved you, Meaghan and Riley so much. God bless her and may her soul dance with the angels in heaven. Hope things won’t be too hard for you!

My prayers and hugs to you, Meaghan and Riley!

I just heard the news of Donn’s passing from the girls at her store, what a shock. She was a wonderful person, kind and helpful and always had a story about her family. Please accept my condolences to the entire family. God Bless all of you, be strong and remember your loved one for the special person she was. This is a great loss, Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Diane

I was so upset when I read about Donna’s passing. I will miss running into her in town. We always talked about getting together, but never found the time. I know how much she loved you, Heather, Megan and Riley, how very blessed she felt. The depth of her caring will be remembered by all the people she touched. I will always remember her sitting at the piano with me, having more fun chatting than doing the piano lesson. She will always have a place in my heart. Angie

God Bless you and comfort you. The love she felt for you, be always in your soul. John and Angie

I just heard the news about Donna’s passsing. I am very shocked. I have very fond memories of her at Pope John Paul. We were very involved with the Parent Group. Megan, you may remember my son Brendan, he remembers you. Your mother was always a fun person to be with. I often saw her at the store. I will truly miss her.
God bless your family.
Carmelle Rose

I was trying to call Mom and got the disconnected message. I had spoken with her two days before. It was a tremendous shock when I googled her name only to find an obituary.
My sincere condoloences to Heather, Meghan, and Rilet and to mom’s siblings. We shared many a good time together. Donna’s generosity, caring and wonderful nature was a beacon to many. Ours was a friendship that endured. Mom’s friendship was like a diamond, Precious but rare.
Take care and be strong as she would have liked
Tony Abraham

Thank you for all of your condolences, it means a lot!

I was so shocked to Hear about the passing of Donna, the last time I saw her I was getting ready for my Friends wedding and she helped me pick out the perfect dress, She was so always helpful, caring, when I went into penningtons, I went in a few times since her passing -just to look however, today I was in search for the perfect outfit was not there , So I asked the lady For Donna She said I am so sorry to tell you.

I was so heavy hearted when I came home, I googled to see if I could find the Obituary , My thoughts and Prayers are two girls HOLD on to the precious memories you have have your Mom, Just remember She was So dear and Special to all of us Penningtons Customers , I am just one of them.. With Deepest Sympathy, Coralee Froude
