      Hello Weil family,
      I am sorry to have to heard of your loss.
      There aren’t any combination of words that could ease the pain, I can only imagine, you must feel. However, I hope the following helps you find comfort and strength at a time when it is needed the most.
      The world has lost a truly inspiring, affectionate, and compassionate soul. She projected unconditional love, selflessness, empathy and served as a positive influence who has clearly impacted many in a positive way through her work and involvement with the community.
      The flowers she arranged among her landscape are a perfect representation of her personality and character. Her admiration of the bleeding hearts, along the sidewalk behind her home, taught me the gratitude of a connection that goes beyond life and death. For that alone, I am forever grateful for the time you shared her with me.
      I wish you peace and triumph throughout these difficult times and I thank you for taking the time to read my message.
      Happy Birthday, Donna
      Wishing you all the best,
      Ali

      Teddy, Tiffany, Drew, Cody and family, I am so sorry and sad that you are all going through this.

      Donna indeed loved all of you so very much.

      It has been some time since I seen her. Years ago I did her nails and we had some wonderful times talking and laughing. Sharing stories about our children. She will be dearly missed by so many.

      Praying for all of you. Barry & Carla Schadegg and Dalton & Mitchell Willyard
