How lucky we all are that she touched our lives. We enjoyed her at Thanksgivings at our grandparents house with 14 cousins (11 girls) laying all over the floors. We were suppose to be sleeping but instead were catching up on the past year. When Donna came to Hawaii she visited my husband Coors and I. We also enjoyed her at the family reunions over the years. To Donna's girls, sisters, parents, husband and
coworkers I'm truly sorry for your loss. JANET RENE' KUGELER (FREEMAN), MARCH 13, 2010 To The Sullivan Family. I'm so sorry about your loss. I stop by the funeral home yesterday and I had the opportunity to see that beautiful lady who went back to our Heavenly Fathers presence. My only son who was 23 years old died last past September from a Brain Tumor too. You are in my thoughts and prayers. LILIANA CARVAJAL, MARCH 13, 2010 The last time I visited with you was at a family reunion at Lake Texoma. You looked so content being a new mom of two daughters. We had wonderful times at Grandma's house when we were young and with all 14 of us cousins finding our places to sleep around the house. Remember the mud pies we'd make and bake in the hot sun and when Grandma cooked roast or fried chicken we'd make the animal sounds to go with whichever she cooked. Now we are closer than ever because you are just a breath away. Love, Sonya SONYA KAY FREEMAN/HAGOOD, MARCH 13, 2010 I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. RITA ANN BOYKIN, MARCH 12, 2010 I have no words to express my sorrow of Donna's passing. We can only rejoice in the knowledge that Donna is in a much better place and is one of God's beautiful angels. Till we meet again my friend. SUE ANN RICHARD - COBB, MARCH 12, 2010 I was saddened to hear of Donna's passing. She was an amazing lady who made every person she spoke to feel special. I'll always remember her laugh,her smile and her kindness. If tears could build a stairway And memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say good-bye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why. My condolences to the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You. Sandra Martin SANDRA MARTIN, MARCH 12, 2010
To my dear friends...my heart is heavy for all of you. I have good memories of youth days with Donna in church for many years. Praying for your strength during this journey of each of your lives. Goodbyes are never easy...only know Donna is with our Lord and saviour and WELL. Much love to all of you!

Allan & Peggy Ritter ALLAN & PEGGY RITTER, MARCH 12, 2010 I cannot find enough words to express our saddness at this time. I just know there are lots of broken hearts.. Your in our thoughts and prayers!!! The Daniel Family NORMA SOLIS DANIEL, MARCH 12, 2010 I always think of Donna saying where are the smarties coming to my candy jar at my desk. Always tried to keep them for her. She was a blessing to work with. Always knew how to make me smile. My prayers are with the family in this very difficult time. LAVONDA GRIFFITH, MARCH 12, 2010 Our deepest sympathy to all of Donna's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May our Heavenly Father give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. TIM & KAREN HANLEY, MARCH 12, 2010 Donna will definitely be missed. All the wonderful, exhausting times we had setting up events won't be the same without her. Yelling orders to her from my office rather than using the phone won't be as fun anymore. I enjoyed watching her service her "drive-thru" window at her desk by listening to everyone's problems, sharing in their exciting news and visiting with all her "godchildren" around the office. Donna definitely had a way of reminding you to "not sweat the small stuff." Donna will not be forgotten at Lattimore for a very very very long time. My prayers are with the family, but with Donna's legacy of strengh,
encouragement and courage, I know everything will be fine. LISA HARPOLE, DONNA'S BOSS AND FRIEND, LMC, MARCH 12, 2010 Stephen, Sonnie & Macey - Our hearts are heavy as we prayer for God's peace for each of you during this time. We hope you can take some comfort in knowing that Donna is in heaven rejoicing with the Lord. We love y'all!!! ALEX &TINA MERRIFIELD, MARCH 12, 2010 It's hard to believe this has happened to such a young, wonderful and beautiful person, but the Lord has called you to better things in Heaven. You will be truly missed by all. My heart and prayers go out to your family as your memories will always shine. I know we didn't see each other very often, but I will always remember the days at Grandma and Grandpa Freeman's. Your smile and sweet spirit is unforgetable. Love you. JODI KAYE JEFFERIS (FREEMAN), MARCH 12, 2010 To the Sullivan and Porterfield family I am sorry for your loss my thouhghts and prayers are with you at such a difficult time LMC co worker. Tony Rice TONY RICE, MARCH 11, 2010 Goodbye my friend. For 42 years we have said goodbye to each other so many times; I can't believe this will be our last. I don't want to say "goodbye", I want to say "Save me a chair". (You'll actually have to save 3 chairs or Darla and Karen will have to sit on our laps.) Please know that you're girls will always be a part of our lives and we will watch over them and help them keep your memory alive. I love you my sister/my friend and will miss you daily. DONNA GAIL ALBANESE WENNER, MARCH 11, 2010 My sincere condolences to Roy and the entire Porterfield family from the Crawford family. I am still in shock at such a beautiful and loved Donna to have gone to heaven. I know well how you feel because I had a great loss of Jerry 12 years ago. We are thinking of you at this sorrowful time and will be at the memorial in Nederland. Be sure to let me know the details. With much love, Shirley Crawford SHIRLEY CRAWFORD, MARCH 11, 2010 We are so sorry to hear of the untimely death of this beautiful person.
Althought we have not been around Donna in her adult life we knew all the little blond headed Porterfield girls when they were little. We were all a family when we come to Mobil Chemical. Many happy times were spent together May all the family and friends find peace in that we will all be together again. Love to all, Kay and Virginia Brown KAY AND VIRGINIA BROWN, MARCH 11, 2010 Please know you and your families are all in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. We miss you but know that the angels in heaven are comforting you, that you are in the presence of an Awesome God, and he too knows how special you are. You will never be forgotten and your memory will forever be in all of our hearts. GWEN DAVIS, MARCH 11, 2010 To the Sullivan and Porterfield Family: Our faith tells us that Donna is now in a better place given her earthly mission is complete. As she now opens her eyes she is finding herself in familiar surroundings, again in a home somehow forgotten and among those she thought were lost forever. Now she will walk in a place of awesome beauty and unconditional love. Know that from time to time she will visit the thoughts and dreams of those left behind and she will be there to greet you when you are called home. Home in a place where we can walk with the source of Love and Light. Home again with God, the creator. With Sincere Sympathy Marv and Pat LeBlanc NHS Class of 1978 Friendswood, Texas MARV AND PATTY LEBLANC, MARCH 11, 2010 Our thoughts and prayers are with the Porterfield and Sullivan families at this difficult time in your lives.
