It is with my deepest condolences and my husbands to have to write this. Just saw Chick at the store. We were going to a lunch after all these years. My husband was ill and we were going to reschedule. We certainly shared many happy times and we laughed together. Chick always had that smile to brighten a room. What a special person. One thing we know that Heaven is a brighter place. We will miss u always ❤️

To Donna’s family.
I am so sorry for loss. Donna & I were good friends when we worked downtown doing title searches. No one made me laugh as much as Donna. Although our lives took a different turn, I thought about her often. You have my deepest sympathy…. Lainey Risser

My sympathies to her family as Donna is missed rt. now, happy & sad days. She was losing more weight & for this little, Italian, crazy-fun lady she didn’t have any Xtra to lose. Donna & I met 20 yrs ago, working @ Quality Inn for wedding /banquets. She always left her lipstick💋kiss on her time sheet, so that was kind of her trademark.Then she could find her time card @ midnight. We laughed @ so many cuckoo yet simple things. I suggested going to the shore, I’d drive & buy gas — but NO, Donna somehow just wouldn’t lv the city. She was very close to her Mom who passed 3 yrs ago & she missed all the Xtra time getting to caring,seeing her Mom. She planned a First Fri for ART in Lanc. 8/4 for us to meet, drink, eat.. but the WALKING got to her, we ended early. The good LORD in HEAVEN will have yet another comedian on bd.

So sorry to hear of Donna’s passing. I worked with her at Mack. She and I were both robbed working a job downtown. We both laughed about it later. She was so fun to work with.
