Donna Quinnan

My memory of Donna... I did not know Donna very long but am so thankful God gave me to opportunity to meet Donna. What a wonderful lady she was. I know we haven't seen her for a while now but I do feel in my heart we were friends. Donna I am so glad that you are in heaven with Jesus, and your sister Lois. We will see each other again. Lord I thank-you for taking good care of Donna. She is a special lady. I know she is not in any pain and that you gave her your hand and told her to come on home. May you comfort the family as they mourn their loss. Give them comfort, peace and strength as they go on. Let them know that you are their Savior. Let them know when it is their time to go home that there will be no more sunsets or dawning, Only joy and happiness. This I ask in your mighty name! Jesus! AMEN! Judy and Steve LaBelle

Dear Bill & Family; I am so sorry for your loss. Donna was a wonderful, kind, caring person and will be greatly missed; Sincerely, Debbie

Donna was one of the most beautiful human beings I've been blessed to call friend. Her gentle demeanor could lead you astray, for along with that extraordinary kindness lay a sense of justice and right purpose that was as keen as a sterling steel blade. One look at her and you saw what C.S. Lewis calls "a redeemed face." Her faithful marriage to her amazing Bill; her courage and ingenious generosity in rearing her loved children; her loyal friendships over many years; and her unswerving, "thick 'n thin" devotion to St. Mary Cathedral parish --all is simply the stuff of holiness. To know Donna is to understand that closeness to God is not some ethereal encounter that removes a person from the patient, daily grind; the common joys of laughter and good food; the hidden heartbreaks of loss that mature the soul. She was a perennial that flowered quietly in every season. She was a caring spouse, a gentle mother who understood the uniqueness of each of her kids, the Cathedral 's utterly reliable bookkeeper, and a great, even spur-of-the- moment party-thrower. Because of her hospitality, both the Quinnan's living room and back yard often rocked! Without faith, Donna's death would feel like crushing loss--even with strong faith, her passing is tough to absorb. But good deeds go before us into God's Kingdom, Holy Scripture assures us. Donna's life unfolds like a glorious red carpet ushering her into Eternal Joy. Her memory is a blessing and a lasting light to follow in her steps. Thank you, Donna, for your love, and thank you, Quinnans, for sharing her with us all. Sister Honora Remes
