Real and I are Central High School friends of Donna. We are very saddened to hear about Donna passing away.
I think about our high school days and remember all the fun we had with our circle of friends. Donna was a wonderful friend and classmate. Then the years passed quickly...almost seems like a flash of time. We saw Donna at our recent high school reunion and it was so wonderful to see Donna and all our friends from the class of 1974.
May all the wonderful memories you have made with her throughout the years always stay deep within your heart and also warm your heart. We hope that her legacy of love will be a source of strength and comfort for you now.
With our deepest sympathy,
Elena (Elaine) and Real

To Al Ward and the Gatto family,
So sorry to hear the sad news of Donna's passing. We met so many years ago when she would frequent our band gigs to support her husband. She had the most beautiful smile and we had so many thoughtful and heartfelt conversations. She was kind and loving. I remember how we would laugh hysterically recounting the antics of one of her cats. Please know that I hold her memory close to my heart and I hope in some small way that our thoughts of beautiful Donna will help you all through this very sad time. Very sorry for your loss.
With prayers and love,
Anne and Scott Pacelli

Dear Gatto & Ward families, Donna and I were very good friends in high school. although I have not seen her in several years having missed the last re-union, I've thought of her often and always with either a smile or a chuckle.
Please accept my deepest sympathies in this very difficult time.

To my dear sweet sister and aunt of my daughter Ilyse...
you will be deeply missed. Every day I miss you, but I know that you are now in a better place,free of pain and suffering. I only wished I had more time to spend with you to do the things we used to do. To father Andy and mother Reggy, thank you for having such a progressive, loving, forward thinking child...she was the 'bomb" and I know she will remain in your hearts forever as with me.
To my dear brother Joseph and his husband Ian,hang in there and keep moving forward keeping Donna in your heartl and spreading acceptance and love to those who surround you all. To Allan (Donna's Allie), you have been changed forever with Donna's unending love, strength and courage that is now inside of you to help you face the difficult challenges in life. You were incredible husband when it was most needed and I hope you stay surrounded by all your great family members including your brothers but most especially your dear, sweet sister-in-laws who were there during the most difficult time of Donna's life and I thank them for that.
Please know, you all have my deepest sympathy and blessings at this most difficult time and remember the old Irish Blessing: May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm on your face, the rain fall softly on your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love,
Thea and Ilyse Hines

I was so very fortunate to have met Donna through her comments on the Gato Facebook page. From there, we became Facebook friends ourselves not too very long ago. Not near long enough. She always had others and kitties in mind, and always had something nice and sweet to say. I am extremely proud to have been able to call her my friend. Although we never met in person, she had such a wonderful impact on me that I cried when I heard of her passing. To all of her family and personal friends, please accept my condolences on the loss of your loved one. She was a wonderful example of what is right in the world.
