her children, Anthony, Stephanie, Marc and Danielle Bourque, her Mother Elsie Gizowski and
Brother Jim Gizowski, along with countless friends who felt her warmth and kindness.

We are so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing.
When we were younger, I remember your Mom was a top student at AOB and very creative. These traits served Donna well as she undertook media studies at NAIT. She was always so thoughtful whether she was planning an event or caring for her family, though with a side of mischief always possible. We hope that your happy memories of your Mom will help you through this difficult period and give you comfort.
