Q: How did you meet Donna?
A: We met playing Bocci at our home at Ashby Ponds. A delightful new friend! May the verse below offer Larry, family and friends some comfort... it was given to me when my Mom passed some 30 years ago.. I carry the verse in my wallet. & when the waves of loss show up, I re-read the "Comfort" verse... Note from Jayne and Chris Vorder Bruegge May 2023.
The verse was written by Cannon Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) Regius Professor of Divinity Oxford University.
"COMFORT"
"Death is nothing at all...I have only slipped away into the next room...I am and you are...whatever we were to each other... that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Let my name ever be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without a ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near...just around the corner... All is well."

We met Donna through our parish, St John Neumann, then our move here to Ashby Ponds and found her to be a wonderful and welcoming friend. She was a special person who will be missed by her many friends, but especially by you, her family, who loved her so much. Spike and I send our deepest condolences for your loss. We pray that you will be comforted by happy memories of your lives together. May our Lord bless you during this difficult time.
God Bless,
Mary and Spike Callander

I knew Donna through our membership as docents at Gunston Hall. Her contributions were many as were her friendships. My thoughts are with her family and many friends who will miss her.

Larry and Family, we extend our condolences. We were privileged to be a part of Donna’s life. We first met at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church and over the years shared many great memories. We particularly enjoyed our travels together from Alaska, Paris, London, European Rivers, to the Mediterranean. We know Donna is at peace now, and her family is testimony of a life well lived. Gordon and Lorrie Aitken

Larry and family,
Please accept our condolences on the loss of Donna.
We have special memories of meeting you and Donna when we first moved into our building at Ashby Ponds. We really enjoyed playing the Birch Pointers bocce team. It was Bocce Brigade vs BirchPointers . You and Donna were always there and playing well. Jimmy remembers Donna and Pickleball games too. May Donna rest in peace and may God’s peace and promises of eternal life provide comfort . Jim and Susan Herbert

A warm and friendly smile always greeted you when you met Donna. She was the Aunt to my best friend Erin and we spent many Christmas and family gatherings together. I will treasure the memories of her always positive outlook, warmth, humour and her tremendous love for her family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved her, especially Larry, Maura and her children. X charlotte

A quote from Saint John Cardinal Newman.
“May He support us all the day long
till the shades lengthen
and the evening comes
and the busy world is hushed
and the fever of life is over
and our work is done.
Then in His mercy
may He give us a safe lodging
and a holy rest
and peace at the last.”
Rest In Peace Donna. It was a privilege to know you. God Bless Frances and Michael Collins, New Zealand

Donna was one of my first friends here at Ashby Ponds, moving in a couple of weeks before I did. We were "partners in crime", planning activities and generally trying to stay out of trouble. We shared many things in common, especially our faith, and her absence has left a deep hole in my heart. My condolences to the family and prayers continue - may she rest in peace. Marge Van Lierde
