Overlijdensbericht en herinneringsplaats van

Donna Rae Gordon

08-12-195318-03-2020

      Donna touched us all with her warm heart, bright smile and beautiful personality.

      What will we remember most about Donna?  Her humor , her kindness and sincerity and her general belief that everyone is good and means well. 

      She had a great love for music, playing drums and coloring. She had about a 100 coloring books.

      She really enjoyed food, but was not really partial to vegetables although she did take a liking to asperges recently.

      She also liked doing crochet, she started on scarves for a colleague’s daughters in 2017 but never finished them as Donna always wanted everything to be perfect and thought that what she created was never good enough.

      Her drive was something everyone admired. She moved from California to The Netherlands on her own and mastered the Dutch language in no time without following one course

      Donna’s death was sudden, but her life was not faint. Her memory will always be with us.

      We will all miss our friend dearly and are grateful for having known her.

      Please be so kind to write your messages in English.

        I will miss our intens discussions, our endless conversations about music, and all the crazy cat videos you always sent me... You were truly one of a kind and I will miss you dearly.
        My heartfelt condolences go out to all of Donna's family and friends.
        Rest in peace my friend...

        After I left work Donna and I kept in touch - meeting up for a chat and dinner, sometimes together with my husband Barry who she loved to see. We were due to meet up again soon but that's never going to happen now.
        So strange that I will never see her again
        So wish I could remember all the conversations we had
        So many questions now unanswered
        So unexpected
        So unfair
        - Goodbye dear friend -
        My thoughts are with Donna's family and all her friends, acquaintances and fellow team members and..... stay safe in these difficult times

        I first met Donna 23 years ago when she was working in the physics department and I joined that department as a trainee. Since then our paths crossed many times on and off. And always without exception there was Donna's smile when saying hello, either in the elevator, down stairs in the restaurant or in the coffee corner. And in the last year of course a valued member of my team. Always there was the sincere interest how I was doing, always cheerful and energetic. My deepest condolences to Donna's family and friends. It is hard to believe we will never see her energetic eyes and hear her laughter again. Dear Donna, we will miss you! Rest in piece..

        No words only memories, loving memories, memories of laughter, memories of good old music, memories of roller skating stories, memories of sharing and exploring the world. Donna, thank you for all of the above. I will miss your looks and laughs in the elevator and cherish the memories.

        Let there be light on your path to heaven
        Let there be light on everything you have seen
        Let there be light to remember
        This beautiful soul that you have always been

        Give us the strength to live our lives without your smile
        Give us the strength to enjoy the music as before
        Give us the strength to be there for each other
        Just like you did and can’t do now anymore

        Thank you for your being
        Thank you for your sunshine
        Thank you for your kindness
        May the light of God shine on you, forever




        In honor of Donna

        Especially for her family and friends, Mother, sister and nieces and nephews to draw strength and comfort .

        Rest in peace

      • Donna was special
        reactie 68   |   niet OK
        I will always remember Donna as a kind and powerful woman, who faced the challenges in life with her head held high. Never will I forget her lively presence (and wonderful hairstyles!)
        When I retired a year ago Donna invited me to come to one of her future music performances. As this was not meant to be I'm now looking forward to a great gig in the next life. Dear Donna, may you rest in peace.

        Donna thought so very highly of all her friends and colleagues. We want to thank you all for your out pouring of support at this time. We were many many miles away from Donna at the time of her death, however we know that she was among friends in the Neatherland. May God bless you all. And special thanks to her employer.

      De mooiste herinneringen zijn vaak eenvoudige momenten waar je het eerst aan denkt. Condoleances zijn vaak de woorden die als eerste in je opkomen om verdriet te delen.
