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.
