Thanks for doing this.

Thanks 007,, (LOL, Donna always called you that). I gave him the specs to her member page, it will be nice to have her have that status, although it would have been a hellova lot better to have her here with us...

Default Some words of comfort

Kathie......plus all of Donna's friends and family,


Two separate verses of comfort for you..............


If your heart is heavy now

because I've gone away

Dwell not long upon it friend

For none of us can stay

Those of you who liked me,

I sincerely thank you all

And those of you who loved me,

I thank you most of all.



And in my fleeting lifespan,

as time went rushing by

I found some time to hesitate,

to laugh, to love, to cry

Matters it now if time began

If time will ever cease?

I was here, I used it all,

and now I am at peace.

************************************************** *******


Remember

Remember me when I am gone
away,
Gone far away into the silent
land;
When you can no more hold me
by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet
turning stay.
Remember me when no more
day by day
You tell me of our future that
you planned:
Only remember me; you
understand
It will be late to counsel then
or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a
while
And afterwards remember; do
not grieve:
For if the darkness and
corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that
once I had,
Better by far you should forget
and smile
Than that you should remember
and be sad.

Christina Rosetti

Rest in Peace dear Donna. You will be greatly missed. We had so much fun in the chat room. We spent many a night with a wonderful group of friends. My prayers for your family.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Someone so special, will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Donna.

Then many discovered the chat room. While we were trying to stay warm in the snowbound north, the chat room was an an "out" and good times with many fast & furious conversations, some true stories, hilarious laughter, and many anxious moments. We even set a record for the number of members in chat.

In the months to come the TOTV membership continued to expand. There were stories about dogs with regular followers wondering what the next episode was going to be about. Individuals on TOTV became friends with "Julia" the ghost with several persons intrigued with paranormal activity on Rolling Acres.

As time progressed, and many finally getting to TV, someone said lets all meet somewhere. Eventually Crispers became the monthly hangout for TOTV members as it is today.

With hugs & kisses long distance conversations over the web turned into a meet & greet. We all laughed and felt as we'd known each other for years. We were all new to TV and came from someplace else having vibrant personalities with jokes abound and crazy accents.

Months & years passed & some of the TOTV members drifted away for various reasons. But some kept close contact. My wife & I had that opportunity. The sometimes dingy antics with a laugh followed up by "Ya Think" will always be remembered along with "Raven you "bahstud". Raven was a German Shepard pup. The phone would ring and I'd hear "16 he has 1 ear up & 1 ear down. I'm gonna tape a popsicle stick to his ears. You're gonna do WHAT....I thought.

Although PA was home, on one occasion the door bell rang and low & behold SURPRISE!!! We're here. No notice what so ever. We went out to eat and enjoyed the following weeks with their company.

But life is never easy. I recall standing at a time clock with a summer job after high school, smoking and saying by the time I reach 50, they'll be a cure for cancer. I'm still waiting.

We lost Donna at 11:32 pm Mar 24, 2012.

We love you Donna

Lovely and fitting tributes. May time and memories heal the pain of family an beloved friends. Donna, rest in peace.

Default She will be missed

So so sorry, I know that many are very deeply grieved and touched by her loving spirit. I only knew her briefly in chat and even that blessed me. My heart goes out to all of you friends and family that are grieving sooo deeply. Good byes are always so hard.

Default Be at Peace, dear friend.

There are not enough words to express my deepest emotions. I will simply share my favorite quote that seems to fit Donna, oh so well.

When she shall die,
Take her and cut her out in little stars,
And she will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
William Shakespeare

A light has gone out in my heart that will never come on again. Yet, I know from the bottom of my soul that you are with your cherished brother and parents ... and finally, out of pain.

I love you dear friend. Safe travels, 'til we meet again. cheloni

Donna is now surrounded by more love than she has ever known, and will be waiting to welcome you with such a joy for having been her friend. Take comfort in knowing that.

Oh Chels, this Shakespeare quote is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. If you run outside right now you will see the moon, Venus & Jupiter together in the Western sky. I think they're little stars of Donna.
