I am so sorry for her family and friends loss. She was a very nice lady, I met her at Bill’s and we talked like we had been friends forever. Again, so very sorry.
My deepest sympathy to all of Donna’s family & friends. May she rest in peace. Her journey to her final destination has been a long hard struggle. God Bless to All!
I know Donna is in the loving arms of our Father up in Heaven where she is no longer in pain.
She was welcomed into Heaven by her Mom & Dad…where they are now rejoicing together.
My thoughts and prayers are for the family that is left behind to remember our dear Donna – who always had such a positive attitude and enjoyed life to the fullest. She will definitely be missed by many…
Love,

I believe we grew up with the Bledsoe’s on Heatherwood Dr. We too went to Sam Houston. May God grant you the comfort at such a difficult time.
My sympathy and prayers to Donna’s family. I worked with Donna for more than 10 years and have many memories of what a fun and caring person she was. I know she will be missed by many friends and family.
To My Sister: We shared a special bond,and our love was always there. You’ve been a fantastic sister and my very best friend I will miss you dearly. When days were long and life got tough your fight and inspiration was still there. The good Lord has taken you home to everlasting happiness.
I knew Donna from Durkee Elementary and Fonville high school days. Extremely nice lady!
