    With Heartfelt Condolences on the passing of Donna Rockett.
    Donna was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and good friend to those who mourn.
    She was kind and loved by everyone who crossed her path of life.

    May the Spirit of our Lord God Our Father in heaven be with all who bereave.
    May God Our Father open the door's of heaven and welcome her into His arms.

    May those who mourn, find peace as Donna's soul enters into the gates of heaven.

    For those we love can never be more than a touch away.
    For as long as there is a memory, they live long in our hearts.

    Rest in peace Donna,
    Sincerely Ann Marie Williams and Harry Hohn

    I’m very sorry for your loss.
    It was a nice service. Hearing Neil speak definitely brought back some childhood memories for me of when I lived in Medicine Hat. I remember hanging out together. I recall that picture of Neil & George wearing the wigs!
    Donna was always kind to me & had a big heart.
    I know she loved her family very much. Thinking of all of her family & friends at this sad time & sending my condolences.
