I was so sad to hear that Donna had passed. My condolences to Charley and the rest of her beautiful family.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Donna’s entire family. I was very saddened to hear of Donna’s passing. She was such a sweet girl and always greeted everyone with a beautiful smile. I knew Donna from West Edgecombe High School and we had gym class together when I was a freshman and she was a senior. We both graduated and went to work for the telephone company where I saw her from time to time. Each time I saw her she still had that big smile and sweet personality. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Cherish all the sweet memories. With Sympathy & Prayers, Sue Rivenbark Carpenter
I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Donna Lancaster Joyner The bible tells us we can gain comfort from God, even during times of sorrow. We pray to our heavenly father for help to cope with the sorrow felt from the death of a loved one. By prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Philippians 46 May you find comfort by relying on our heavenly father and learning more about the blessings of God’s kingdom. Local ministry volunteer
