Donna was my childhood neighbor and was still living in the same house when she passed. She would always say how when they were building the house I would come up to the kitchen window and put my hands and face on it and look in to see what they were doing. I was probably 8-10 yrs old. (I am now retired so we go way back) I would go over there a lot while growing up and eventually would occasionally watch the kids when her and Faris would go out. She was always there if you ever needed anything and I knew that if I ever did need something I could give her a call. In the later years I would stop by when I was in St. Johns and after finding out about her cancer I would try to come into town more often just to see her. She said on her "Bucket List" she wanted to go to the beach and I told her I would take her to my beach house and after many failed attempts we never did get there. She loved keeping track of me feeding my babies (deer) up there and wanted to be able to feed them herself. I know that she will be up there with me in spirit and every time I am out feeding them I will be thinking of her!!!
Donna I will forever miss you and you will always be "19" in all our books!! I know you are with the love of your life now and not in any more pain. I will take comfort in that!!
I love you and miss you!!

Laura Landtiser

Donna may have been my mother in law but she truly was a Mother-In-Love. She shared my love of birds and her yard was filled with feeders and birth baths. Whenever she found a new bird in her yard she would send me a picture and say what is this bird? I love sharing these experiences with her. She loved hummingbirds and the color purple. She was a most loving person and would share anything she had. She always made people leave with a smile and food. She will be missed and will forever be 19 in my mind. When traveling I would send her postcards and she always kept them and would share them with everyone. She is in Heaven now and out of pain, but she will forever remain in my heart. Love you Donna. (Laura Landtiser, wife of son Mike Landtiser).
