So sorry about losing our dear aunt Donna. I loved it when she would tell me she was my favorite aunt. I have great memories of her and my aunt Ruby dancing, and their friendship. We will miss her very much. With Love and Deepest Sympathy to Charlie, and Charlotte and the family. Love you guys! Cindy Cox
Donna was my Administrative Assistant when first elected in 1986. I felt so fortunate to have the opportunity to bring on to my staff a person of her knowledge and experience. She had previously worked for both Travis Morrison and Gary Sharpe and really knew her way around the Missouri House. She not only mentored me but both Adm Assist’s of the two other freshman House members in our three person office complex. She absolutely knew everyone as well as the process. And all of the “do’s” and “do’nts that most freshman had to learn the hard way. I send my thoughts and prayers to Charlie and the rest of the family. I know she will be greatly missed. PHIL TATE
