<p>Dear Pierre, Bobby and Marcel,</p>
<p>I was so sorry to hear about Dona. Words seem inadequate at time like this. I pray you can find some comfort in this time of shock and grief. It's been too long since we last met. Please accept my condolences.</p>

<p>Dearest Dona:</p>
<p>If we could bring you back again,<br>For one more hour or day,<br>We'd express all our unspoken love;<br>We'd have countless things to say.<br>If we could bring you back again,<br>We'd say we treasured you,<br>And that your presence in our lives<br>Meant more than we ever knew.</p>
<p>If we could bring you back again,<br>To tell you what we should,<br>You'd know how much we miss you now,<br>And if we could, we would</p>
<p>But I know you are in a better place. <br>A place where there is no more pain, <br>A place of joy and comfort, <br>If we could be still and listen,</p>
<p>We could hear a voice that say,<br>Do not stand at my grave and weep.<br>I am not there.<br>I do not sleep</p>
<p>I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow. <br>I am the diamond glint on newly fallen snow. </p>
<p>I am the sunlight on ripened grain. <br>I am the soft and gentle autumn rain</p>
<p>When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush,<br>I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. <br>I am the soft, starlight at night.</p>
<p>Do not stand at my grave and weep. <br>I am not there. <br>I do not sleep.</p>
<p>I am in the comfort hands of the Angels,<br>I am home at last.<br>There is no night here,</p>
<p>Halleluya! there's no night here,<br>For Jesus is the light, In the heavenly city bright<br>Helleluya! There is no night here.<br>******<br>Chidozie, Adorata, Grace, David and Gloria</p>

<p>Pierre, Bobby and Marcel,</p>
<p>Words can not express the shock and sadness that befell me upon hearing the departure of Dona, your loved one, the nucleus of your family. Dona, the physical gap you have left can never be filled, however, your spirit and easy smile will always warm the hearts of those who came to know you. Your graciousness will never be forgotten.</p>
<p>Pierre, Bobby and Marcel, may the Good Lord ease your pain, lighten your hearts and strengthen you during this difficult moment. May you be consoled by knowing that Dona is now resting in a better place.</p>

<p>My Dearest Dona, words cannot convey my thoughts. From Muramba to Butare, to Mississippi to Ohio...you never left me. In the unspeakable pain of my loss, you came to Mississippi to cry with me. In the joy of my wedding, you came to Dayton to laugh with me. In your last week end on this earth, I was fortunate enough to come and pray with you. I am forever grateful for your friendship...Love always...</p>

<p> Just wanted you to know how sorry we are for your loss.</p>
<p>You already know Donna was a very special person, all those who knew her can testify to that.<br>One of the things that makes me very grateful to our Creator is our ability to remember . Memories can carry us through </p>
<p>these difficult times and help us never to forget our loved ones. We can still laugh and cry as we reminisce on the times we shared together . I am grateful for the memories I have and will never forget her smile as we walked through the park or had lunch together and talked about life.</p>
<p>Donna will forever be in our memories and most importantly she is in God's memory .<br>With love,<br>Edna and Steve McAllister</p>

<p>My Dona, my lovely Dona, </p>
<p>You have been my best friend and my closest relative for more than 30 years. From our childhood in Muramba in the 80's, with your help with revision of mathematics, I keep the good souvenirs of a very intelligent, quiet and friend full of love. My second souvenir is the visit at your parent's house in 1984: the warmest parents and family I have ever seen. My recent souvenir is the visit my husband and I had at your place in New Jersey: the kindness you always showed despite your sickness. With your husband and your 2 sons we had a time that is still graved in our memories. I still remember the long phone talks we had this year. When Pierre informed me about your hospitalisation, I took time to pray our God and to give your life in his hands. You have beneficially used your time for a good preparation and for this I am sure you are now in God's hands. I wish you to rest in peace, you have now met already your beloved parents and relatives you have always wished to meet. When it will be our turn we will surely see you again. You will always be in our thoughts. We wish Pierre, Marcel and Robert to be strong in these trying moments. </p>
<p>We love you so much. </p>
<p>Immy and Family.</p>

<p>Dona, a beautiful flower that's no longer with us - </p>
<p>Dona, I will never forget the first time you name came up in conversation with my wife, just before we were married. You were her sister. She treasured you as one, and you more than returned the favor. When she fell sick, you were the first to come to visit, to spend time with her, just like a sister would. We visited your family many times since then, and each time I learned more what a loving, selfless, courageous, and just good hearted human being you were. With so much taken away from you through the years, I could not help but wonder how you could continue to give, and give, and give ... but you did. I soon came to learn that loving, caring, and giving were who you are. You cared for us whenever we came to visit, even when you were sick. You did the same when you came to visit our family - always trying to help, never complaining about anything. </p>
<p>Dona, you taught us a lot about love and perseverance, but above all you taught us to treasure the moments we have in this life. Just like your life, they come and then they are gone ... forever. </p>
<p>Our family is better for having known you, Pierre, and your sons Bob and Marcel. We will forever be grateful to God for the gift that you were.</p>
<p>Rest in peace - till we meet again. <br>Ivan and Lumala family.</p>

<p>Bonjour Pierre,</p>
<p>Ce messager pour vous témoigner mon soutien pendant ces moments doloureux !</p>
<p>Toutes mes amitiés à toi et aux enfants.</p>
<p>Jf</p>
<p>Hommage à mon amie Donatilla</p>
<p>Je ne meurs pas, j'entre dans une nouvelle vie !</p>
<p>Pour de nombreuses jeunes filles rwandaises, 20 ans est le bel âge : l'âge de pensées, projets et engagement. Un âge où l'on se croît capable de transporter les montagnes ! L'âge où on est conscient des responsabilités sans avoir peur<br>de les assumer.</p>
<p>J'ai rencontré Donatilla sur le milieu du travail (à la Caisse d'Épargne du Rwanda). Sans tarder nous avons décidé de vivre en colocation dans le but de développer notre autonomie et donner un coup de main à nos parents en prenant<br>en charge nos petites sœurs.</p>
<p>C'est par après que nous nous sommes rendues compte que nos parents se connaissaient, également et cela a consolidé notre amitié !</p>
<p>Nous avons partagé la joie et nous nous sommes soutenues dans les difficultésde la vie.</p>
<p>Me faisant part de ses fiançailles avec Pierre, ensemble nous avons préparé leur mariage. Elle alla vivre à Butare, et donna naissance à son fils aîné Marcel et peu après, elle rejoignit son mari aux États-Unis.</p>
<p>J'ai gardé contact avec sa famille et m'a annoncé la naissance de son deuxième fils Robert.</p>
<p>Plus tard, elle m'a parlé des problèmes de santé, qu'elle a essayé de combattre jusqu'à ce jour du 22 novembre 12 où elle nous quitta.</p>
<p>Optimiste, accueillante, enthousiaste, à l'écoute des autres et très courageuse. Je ne l'ai jamais entendue se plaindre ! Elle m'a toujours conseillé de garder le calme lorsqu'il s'agissait de trouver des solutions à des situations difficiles.</p>
<p>Tel est le souvenir important que je garde de mon amie !</p>
<p>Elle rejoint ses parents, ses sœurs et frères et beaucoup d'autres membres de sa famille qui l'ont précédée. Puisse Dieu l'accueillir dans son amour et sa bonté infinis !</p>
<p>A Pierre, Marcel et Robert, je présente mes sincères condoléances.</p>
<p>Jeanne-Françoise</p>
