I have a lump in my throat and just want to cry. I always looked in to see how she was doing. Something about her drew me in, and had me wanting to know more about her.
I pray that she is at peace and whole again. I also pray that the family will know she is a truly amazing lady that touched so many of our hearts.
Many prayers to everyone missing Donna tonight!

Thank you for sharing and for updating us when she was not able to. I will miss her bright, beautiful smile and her kind words. Praying for her family and loved ones tonight. Happy she is resting in the arms of her heavenly Father. My dad also died from pancreatic cancer, so I had a sincere interest in her fight and hoping it would turn out differently for her. I will miss you Donna.

Donna will be missed so much. I didn’t know her, really, but felt a small connection as someone who had fought cancer. When she graciously accepted my offer to send her my dress to wear for a wedding I was thrilled. I loved my dress but loved the thought of someone else wearing it and enjoying it far more than I liked having it hanging in my closet. I also expected she wasn’t really up for shopping and thought it would make things easier for her if she liked it and it fit her. Very selfishly, I was so sad, and yes, disappointed when she was too ill to attend the wedding. The picture Donna shared of herself when she tried it on is the lasting image I’ll have when I remember her. Her smile was absolutely illuminating. My husband tells me that my smile lights up a room and I can only imagine how many times Donna heard those words as hers truly did. I’m sad for those who have to continue living in this world without Donna in it but am so happy she’s at peace and rejoicing in the kingdom of heaven. ETA: jenjie thank you for sharing about your relationship with Donna. I can’t stop the tears. I loved that you sent her the dress, and I was so excited for the chance for a Donna to dress up and go have a fun evening. I was saddened when I realized that she was too ill to attend. While I’ve known that I would open 2Peas to find this news one of these days, I still cried. Donna seemed like a lovely woman, and the board won’t be the same without her. Cancer, I really hate you. A lot.

Even though we all knew this update was coming, I've cried reading the news. I have such admiration for Donna and it was clear how much she loved her family and wanted them to be okay. It's a comfort to know that they surely knew her love for them.
She made the world, including this board, a better place. She will be missed.

jenjie, your post is beautiful - an exquisite testament to the intersection of journeys that you and Donna are traveling. You reached out during your own grief to provide a way station during Donna’s race. Thank you for being our emissary. And goodbye to Donna.

I was just thinking about Donna this morning and sent up a little prayer for her. While I’m glad she’s not suffering anymore (and is rejoicing with the angels instead!), I’m so sorry for her family, her friends and all of us here who will miss her greatly. She really did have a bright shining joyful spirit that you could see in her photos and feel when reading her posts. I’m sending out prayers for peace and comfort to her loved ones now and know she is finally at rest.

Tribute from Donna’s son Mason:
I've always thought that a good mother is the most important person in a growing boys life. Not only do they share a special bond from birth, but she shows and teaches him about affection, love, the consequences of his actions, manners, and to be the best that he can be. Regardless of how well he may do all, or none, of those things, she loves him with all her heart anyways, never for him to question. I'll be the first to admit, I'm a mommas boy through and through, to the greatest mother I could have asked for. She challenged me mentally and emotionally, and with help from my Dad they gave me a home full of knowledge, laughter and love. I wouldn't be who I am, or have the life that I cherish if it weren't for her. It eats away at me to say that early this morning my mother ended her long and painful battle with pancreatic cancer. She fought, and endured longer than my family and I could have ever hoped for. These words could never scratch the surface of how amazing of a woman she was, not just for me, but for anyone who was blessed to know her. I love you Mom. Forever and always. Your baby boy.
