Such a wonderful human. I am so grateful Donna spent the time she did with her children and beautiful grand babies.
I enjoyed so much watching all the videos and photos she posted.
I felt part of her life even though I was up here on the Gold Coast.
Love to all the family and remember she is still with you. Now your guardian angel 😇
Lots of love Kez

Rest in peace you will be missed
RIP

A fabulous person with a cracking sense of humour and who always kept you honest …. Sending much love to all …. Lovely lady you will be greatly missed x

Remembering a vibrant and beautiful young lady ( and her beauty was more than just skin deep) and gone too soon. I understand she was a wonderful mother and grandmother too.
Wishing you all peace and comfort knowing you were there for her when she really needed you. Kind and caring thoughts to her nearest and dearest, Bev

To my darling Donna, you have been through so much in your lifetime and some how survived it all and moved forward like the champion you were, with humour and sheer determination to not allow anyone to keep treating you badly.
Being a Mum was the one thing you were so very good at and the pride you had in your beautiful children and of course your wonderful grandsons who brought so much happiness into your life.
I just can't quite accept that you are not here and I won't be receiving any very hilarious text messages or talking to you and ending in tears of laughter. My heart hurts that you are not with us any more, but you were strong and you knew what you wanted to do and it was done that way by your children.
I regret us not having a great deal of time together, but we both knew each other were there when needed.
My darling cousin, you were the absolute best in every way. RIP Don love you always ❤️ Kim

I cannot imagine a world without you Donna. I have known you since Nica was very young and Shea wasnt around.
You spread sunshine wherever you went and the world without you is a darker place.
Those few who didn’t love you were often jealous of you although I know that life wasnt always kind to you but you could laugh off adversity and move on. You have restarted your life and the adventure of living so many times and don’t deserve the pain that held you in its grip for your last year when you had at last achieved full independence.
For you it is a relief to at last know what lies beyond and if there is nothing, I know that you will surely be having a long, long sleep.Free of pain and worry.
If we are so blessed and there is something beyond this, I know there will be your beautiful face to usher us into another world.
You are so loved and missed by so many.To Nica, Shea, Jess and Connor I send you my love.
I feel your loss deeply.

Donna, we first met 40 years ago when she came up to Goroka from Lae with Nika and Shea to be with Jim. She worked for a while for Jerry at TALair with Vicki and Bindu and finally I had someone who could give me all the gossip because Jerry never would. We just clicked and had the same warped sense of humour and fun. We travelled different roads but shared many sad times, fun times, hard days and hilarious days. She was always there for her friends and family. She was loyal, forgave easily and understood how people worked. Donna was such a beautiful soul, inside and out. Donna I miss you so. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Dear Rosie,
Your genuinely warm personality, your sense of humour and your zest for life will be foremost when we think of you. Although we haven't known you long we valued your friendship and your company. Our future vacations won't be the same without you.
Rest in peace

My deepest condolences in this difficult time. I admired her sense of style and kind heart. Thinking to all you. Thank you,
Miguel

Rosie I’ve so loved our friendship and we’ve passed this back and forward over the years so I’m returning it for our final time
This is so your choice darlen
You have touched so many lives
What a legacy
Love you 💝

Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.

All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success, but your significance.

What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

Choose to live a life that matters.

- Michael Josephson
