As a fellow employee at MTA our hearts and prayers got out to Donna's family. I never got to meet her, but its people like her that that make it better for the rest of us to do our jobs. God bless her family as they deal with the loss of their mother and wife. Take comfort in knowing how much
she was liked at work and how she would help others. God bless you.

Donna and I have been friends for over 20 years, we trained as Storekeepers together at Division 10 in East Los Angeles in the Early 1990's. I had bought a new Shih tzsu puppy about a year ago, and Donna was always calling me to see how he was doing offering me tips on how to train him. I always appreciated her help whenever I needed a day off, she was always willing to come in and work for me. To Larry and his family, please accept my deepest sympathy for Donna, she will be missed.

Howard always made it a point to spend time talking with L.A. City Employee Club members about a number of our concerns. He made you feel like a close family member. Howard was a true professional who cared a great deal.

I've known Donna for 15 years and she is one of the most hard working person I know. It's always a pleasure whenever we get a chance to talk, cause I always learn something new from her. To Larry and the kids I would like to extend our deepest condolences in behalf of all her friends here at MTA.
