I met Donna while serving in the USN. Met her through her former husband Clint. in Vellejo Ca. I would go over to party and hang out, bring my girlfriend at the time over as well.
Then there was this one time having to take her and Baby Cristina to Police Station and pick up her former husband from jail, while i only had a small Datsun truck at the time she made him ride in the back under the cover LOL. She would say turn sharp here. brake hard here. She was pissed to say the least.
In 1995 after I got out of Navy, a few conversations over the phone she convinced me to move into her basement in Roy Ut. Originally I was going to go to work for Thiokol Aerospace in Promontory, Utah but found out that it was going to be shutting down in 96. I was unemployed and freaking out.. She kept my head up and found a job fair, which i went to and ended up interviewing that day for American Online in Roy Utah, where they just opened a brand new call center.
We eventually became a couple from the time I was there, I fell in love with her, it was almost impossible not to. Helping her raise Cristina and Jacky, I remember how excited Donna got when she heard Jacky say Pizza when she brought me lunch one day and we sat out in the white mustang she had in the parking lot outside of AOL. She was so excited, I remember Drew moved to Ogden as well. Donna, Drew and myself would go to Denny's and just have great times laughing and talking about former experiences. She had a way with people creating smiles where ever she went. I deeply loved her, and she will always have a special place in my heart. You will be forever missed.
