Dear Ken, Nick, Leslie and Matt, So very sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I am in Florida so will not be able to attend on Sunday or Monday. Such lovely memories of Donna from Winnebago days. She was always the one to volunteer whenever needed in those wonderful years when the kids were young. You all were the best part of her life; she loved you beyond anything. You were so lucky to have such a dear, hardworking, loving mom and partner. I know she treasured these last years with you, and the care you gave her. God bless you all.

Dear Ken, Nick, Leslie and Matt! My heart is aching for all of you. ALS is ugly. I have lost two cousins to this awful disease. When I think of Donna, besides my memories from serving together on the Winnebago PTO, I think of her daily walks with her beautiful dogs. It was nice cause we'd get to chat here and there. Please know I will be with all of you in spirit on Sunday and Monday. Unable to attend either service due to prior plans and doctor appointments. Love to you all. Cindi and Terry Bronke

Although our 14E unit at Northwestern Memorial Hospital only knew Donna for a short period of time, we grew to love her and embraced her as part of our family. Our deepest sympathy for all of her family and friends. Donna will remain in our prayers, thoughts, and in our hearts.
