Dearest Donna,
I have just heard the very sad news of your passing.
You gave me lots of tips and help before I started flying. Once I got my wings, I always enjoyed flying with you- you were so hard working and professional and your dry sense of humour was a tonic. Fly high precious lady.
Love and condolences to John and the rest of the family.
Nos da Cariad xx

Love and condolences to Paula and extended family for the far-too-early loss of Donna. Kia kaha. Shall we be sad for having lost her; or joyous for having known her?
