Awe Donna you were so fabulous, didn’t know you long but I’m grateful that I did know you xxxx
So sorry for your loss dear Heather. Our sincere condolences. Agnes & Colin
My thoughts and condolences to Simmone and the wider family. I had intended to attend this afternoon, however a family member is COVID positive and I am included in the contact list so will be in isolation until Monday. I have only recently made an acquaintance with Donna through Unity Drummers and found her to have a lovely personality and a person one could easily like as a friend. I loved her “have a go” approach and was thrilled to see how our members were so supportive of her.
I am so glad we had a brief time to-gether on my birthday 5 th March & feel so sorry that will be the last. I feel very honoured to remember you as a friend. Goodbye Donna R.I.P
This is not right. So surreal writing a message for your passing. You were always full of life and laughter. Rest In Peace dear Donna. Deepest condolences.
Harry and Simmone, stay strong. Much love to you both.
Rest in peace Donna.
My thoughts are with Simmone, Harry and family xx
My sincere condolonces to all the family. I will miss Donna a friend whose company I enjoyed dancing and who assisted others in teaching me carpet bowls when I came to PLRB. A vibrant life cut short.
Thoughts and Prayers with Simmone, Harry and Family, Donna I will always remember you infectious smile and your try anything attitude.
Rest in peace ❤❤
Met your lovely mum once, instant connection, amazing woman, danced, laughed, even got me on facetime. Will be thinking about you.
So sorry for your loss babe.
Much luv 2 you and your dad

Goodbye Donna you beautiful soul, every time I think of you, you’re laughing and smiling ❤️
The Brashs and the Blacks were inseperable in my teenage years. Some of the best laughs I had were with Harry and Donna. Such a ray of light and kindness in life. The world needs more of what Donna offered.
See you one day auntie Donna.
Love David and Laura Brash
Oh we will miss you Donna, however your laugh and fun times will always be part of us. Thanks for being you, you never changed in all the years Ian and I knew you.
Harry and Simmone our love is being sent to you and all the family xxx
To Simmone, Harry and Family, I just watched the beautiful tribute service for Donna. Thank you for reaching out, as the knowledge of how our happy band of drummers gave Donna so much joy. From Unity Drummers Inc. we send our loving thoughts to you. Each full moon can be a time of remembrance knowing her presence was within our circle.
Gone, but will never be forgotten, missed forever xx
Dear Harry and Simmone, when the person you are closest to, as Donna was to you both, is gone, hold on to their memories and know that they are always with you. Thinking of you both Margaret and Peter.
We at Palm Lake Resort have lost a very special friend. Donna touched many hearts and bought sunshine into every room she entered. The wonderful memories will live on. She will be missed terribly. God Bless Harry and Simmonne in their grief.
Love from Roz and Bob
Thinking of you, Harry, at this difficult time. Donna was a wonderful woman; so full of life. We have such happy memories of time spent with you both. She had such a ‘spark’ that will now shine from above over you and Simmone. Take care. Love from Sue, Jack, Ben and Will Xoxox
