Donna was a step above...
I had so much fun with Donna. "Gug" had a
maturity that most of us didn't in high school, and she had a knack for being extemely
efficient and organized while loving every minute of what ever it was she was doing. It's
safe to say she was passionate about her choices in life.
I remember being in Leadership with Donna, and she always had a clipboard in her hands.
She'd be writing furiously, and I'd think to myself what did I miss? Invariably,
after class she'd have new ideas for a rally, or how something could be done differently
to make it better. And all the while smiling. As though she had "aha" moments
all the time.
One year, Donna enlisted Cheryl Guest and I to take stats for the baseball team. Now, of
course never having played softball seriously, or even watching baseball on TV very often,
I was pretty intimidated. But she said it would be fun, and easy. Well I was a nervous
wreck the entire season, but I have to say, even now, I know what a backwards K is, and if
it weren't for Donna there are a whole bunch of experiences I'd never embarked upon if it
weren't for her encouragement.

She made just about every day a
little better...
One always feels a loss when someone you know passes
away, but for me that's especially true where Donna is concerned.
When I first heard the news and again now as I sit here writing this, I can not for the
life of me recall ever having seen her without that big, vibrant smile beaming from ear to
ear; never once in a mood that prevented her from spreading a little of that
"Gug" sunshine around.
She was truly some of God's best work and one of the finest people I've been blessed to
have known.
Donna was taken far too soon, but oh, how she made such good use of the time she had while
she was here...and made the lives of the people who knew her (and especially during her
years at Amador) even more spectacular and memorable.
