I met Donna thru my sister Cathy and became fast friends. Then she started working for Marsh and joined my group for lunch. She always made everyone laugh.

It's seven years now but it only feels like yesterday since the world lost such a wonderful person. I think of you often, especially when I see Mike and Stephanie. You are always in my heart.

I went to Lehman H.S. with Donna, Berkeley Business School and by chance we ended up working for Seagram's together. I always joked with her that she was "following" me. She was a lovely girl who turned into a lovely woman. I was shocked and saddend when I heard she was in the WTC. She always talked about her daughter. My prayers go out to her family.

Donna was a very good sister. I think of you more now that I'm at the local mall trying to get ready for the upcoming Christmas season. I keep on thinking back to the days when we used to go shopping at Lord & Taylor. You used to teach me how to get great deals on good quality clothes. Now eveytime I walk into Filene's or JC Penney and dig into the fifty percent racks, I will always remember your philosphy on fashion. Now today I'm back in college trying to earn a BA in Journalism. I don't want to spend the rest of my adult life working as a cashier.I hate to say this but that too is a extremely dangerous job and I don't want any part of it.

Donna and I met at Seagram many years ago -- before our first marriages, before our children. We got pregnant around the same time and then continued our careers at Seagram. Although we were in different departments, we always continued to be working in a capacity where we were in contact with each other and maintain a nice friendship. We talked about dieting. We talked about our bosses and laughed. There was one guy she would do imitations of and I always laughed when she did it. We would hang out at company parties, drink and laugh. We'd talk about her daughter, my son. Our boyfriends - her fiance who I am sure misser her immensely. She left Seagram, but kept in touch occasionally. The last time I saw her, was at a bar in Throgs Neck area for a St. Patrick's day parade party. We laughed and had a good time. The Friday prior to Sept. 11, I was at a friend's wedding in New Rochelle --I ran into a girl from Seagram in the ladies room who told me there was another wedding going on and that Donna and a bunch of Seagram people were in there. I wanted to go by, but got caught up in the other wedding I was attending. I never got to see her and I'm sorry for that. I think of her often and I hope her daughter Stephanie is doing well. She was a wonderful person.

Donna was one of those people you dont meet too often in life. Her mere presence always brought a smile to my face because of all the belly laughs we shared over the years. I will never forget the hillarious spontaneous moments- like pranking the guy on qvc with the bad hair piece, or her shaking her butt to a jennifer lopez song to crack up the neighbors in Lake George.

Her last day on earth with all of her friends and family gathered for the last time we discussed her plans for the future. You could see it written all over her that she was happy and in love and proud of her daughter who was about to graduate. That night we sang, we danced, and surrounded by all the people we loved- endulged in each others company till the early morning. It was one of my fondest memories in life and also my last memory of Donna. Everytime we gather in that same spot you cant help but feel her spirit all around you and for that we are lucky.
