Hey, first time in forum, but felt I needed to add to the things remembered about Donna.
Knew her as a tech and as a sister-in-law (and, unfortunately, as an ex-sister-in-law). As a tech, like others mentioned, she was hard working and consciencious (sp?). Everyone I've ever met, that ever worked with her, liked her. I'm in Pearl Harbor at the shipyard now where she and Clay "tested the waters" a few years back. She was only here a very few months waiting for her RCT class to start, so I'm amazed at how many people here have asked about her passing, expressing their sorrow for the lost of such a sweetheart. That says a lot, it seems the techs over here usually make it a point not to take in new people, especially "commercial road-techs" (that ALOHA stuff pretty much stops at the airport and downtown hotels).
And Donna was just as sweet and likeable outside the concrete walls. She was the only one of my dear brother's list of other halves that I enjoyed being around. My parents took her in as real family and we all sincerely grieve her passing. Ma/pa got to visit Donna in Arkansas and had the opportunity to meet her daughters and many of her friends. They told me then that Donna was a special blessing for everyone she met. They made a special trip not too long ago to visit her at Oconee - I don't believe they've kept track of any of Clay's other ex's! She will be missed, she will always be loved.
