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.

        Donna... We were connected by the heart through the rhythm we shared. Something indescribable for which I have no words. I honestly will miss you!
        Way too soon you have left us, but thank you for playing me your drum-beats, sharing videos of your drum performances, showing me your colour-in works, and mostly for sharing some of your life stories with me. Thank you for making me laugh often so... Unexpectedly... with a humour that was fast and quirky!
        When you soar into the beyond in your favourite rhythm, and with the perfect shades of brightly coloured flowers surrounding you, go well, and may you rest in peace!

        MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES to: Your family, especially to your mother, and your sister Charlene (whom Donna often spoke about), and to all whom loved you as a friend and colleague!

        I cannot quite imagine the office without you, I have fond memories of your drum performance at the Ostade theatre, you were so happy that your colleagues came to support you, but for us it was an honour and also a wonderful surprize to see you drumming and being the ultimate cool rock chick xxxx

        Lieve Donna,
        I was so young when I met you... our friendship grew with the years.
        We had fun but we also shared our deepest fears.
        Sadly ... we grew apart,
        But I wrote your name in my heart
        and that's where it will stay, always.

        Your humor, straightforwardness and passion for music will be missed. You picking up your drum kit has been really inspiring. I'll miss you at the 22nd and walking to the station. My condolences to your family and friends.

        To Donna's family:
        Please accept my condolences. I never had the chance to meet Donna in person, but have worked with her virtually, and always found her caring and friendly manner to be a hallmark of knowing her. She was always willing to help, no matter what the issue or need. My prayers go out to you and yours at this time of sadness. Terry Materese, Philadelphia, PA.
