Passing of Donna Comstock
2 Attachment(s)
It is with a heavy heart that I tell Chief Delphi of the passing of my mother and 9 year FIRST mentor, and sponsor Donna Comstock.
While attending Roboticon on Sunday my mother suffered an eruption of an undiagnosed brain anuerysm, and passed last night. My mother was a spirited member of our community and anyone who has attended a Florida competition since 2007, or Champs in 2007, 2008, 2013 or 2014 may have memories of her. While on M.A.R.S. (1523) my mother was known for initiating the cheer, whistling very loudly and supplying and giving away our signature aliens. With last season being our first on The Children of The Swamp (179) my mother brought her cheering, whistling and a new giveaway in stuffed alligators, as well as supplying pits at the competitions with complimentary bags of candy. I thank our community for the words of support I have already received and if anyone would like more information feel free to PM me. |

Re: Passing of Donna Comstock
Please accept my sympathies.
If it's any consolation, at least she was doing something she loved. |

Goodness and peace to your Mother and to all those she left behind.

James,
I had a brief chance to meet your mom at Champs this past April. One thing that stuck with me was how proud she was of you - just beamed when she talked about you and your accomplishments. Peace to you, your family and the teams in the coming days, weeks, and months. Polly Another Robot Mom! |

Re: Passing of Donna Comstock
James,
Your mother was phenomenal and a hard working person that every FIRST team strives to have on their team. I don't remember how many times she has asked me if I had lunch at competitions and offered. She was the ultimate team mom. It was a ritual for me to talk to Donna at every single event I have attended followed by her asking me if we are pregnant yet. My last memory with her was three weeks ago when I saw her at Panther Prowl where she expressed how happy she was with the team and your accomplishments. She also said to me, "I better see your baby before I die." Three weeks later, I am sitting here loss for words. I know she is looking down on us and I know her blessings are upon us. Our team will miss her dearly and it will always be emotional to walk into a Florida event and not seeing her. Our deepest condolences from the bottom of our heart. If you need anything or if you need to talk, you have my number. -Arefin |

Re: Passing of Donna Comstock
Aw geez, James. I'm so sorry to hear of this.
I got to talk to her a bit at IRI this year. She was really enthusiastic about being at the event and obviously absolutely loved FIRST. Such a nice lady. I'm sorry she's gone. My prayers and blessing for you and your family James. |

James,
On behalf of TechTiger Robotics, please know that your mother and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. She was one of a kind, easy with a laugh and giving of her heart. Her spark lit up the room. We are all blessed to have had the time with her that we did. |
