Dear Janice, Gord and Family,

I am sorry to hear of Donna's passing. Donna was a remarkable woman and a pleasure to talk to while waiting for her treatments at M D Anderson. She gave 100%, as well as all of you, in her fight against cancer. Additionally, she helped in motivating my dad to continue his treatments when they got too much for him to bear.

You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Faith Allen

So sorry to the Wallace family for the loss of Donna. She was a very special lady who touched everyone she came in contact with.
