Hi Donna, it is difficult to say Goodby when I feel like I have not even said Hello. Thanks for your service to the Staff leadership. Thanks for being a help while I was in Academic Senate, for manning the desks and being someone who was always there. Thanks for saying hi and chatting walking across campus to the cafeteria in sun, fog and rain. I will miss you when I go for a coffee and say to myself, what is missing here. I hope your retirement is everything you can make it. Nick Kapp

Donna,

I fondly remember the time we first met back in November 2004 at wonderful Skyline College.  I had just moved to California from Alaska and you were so kind to me.

Thanks for all of the laughs and please enjoy this next journey of life called 'Retirement!'  Stay in touch and enjoy that retirement GLOW!

I took this picture about a year ago, always look forward and remember to smile as you look back at the great times in your rearview mirror!

Hugs,
Roxanne

Oh Donna...

No one will fill the gap, especially at the World Cup in the mornings.  Chocolate donuts to go!

We had such good times reminiscing about the good 'ol days of the '60s and all the rest.

Enjoy the time you have now, and stay safe and healthy.

Hugs,
Rosie Bell

I can't count how many times I sent students on scavenger hunts to the health center, only to have them return to say what a wonderful person Miss Donna was and how friendly and helpful she was to them.  thank you for all that you have given to our wonderful college, and may your next phase of life be restful and bright!

Donna, I remember the time when I was feeling sick and I went to the health center to get some medicine. You were always so helpful to me. You made sure that I speak to the nurse and setup my appointment to see the nurse that day. You never hesitate to speak with me, to check in with me, and to make me feel comfortable even many years ago while I was an intern and a new and young counselor. I love seeing your smiling face each morning in bldg. 2! Thank you for making me feel that I’m truly part of Skyline. I will miss your warm presence so much! ~ Kent Lao Gomez

I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to Ms. Donna for your dedicated service to Skyline for the past 22 years. Ms. Donna has been one of the most dedicated, compassionate and hardworking nurses we have ever had the pleasure of working with. She has always gone above and beyond to ensure that her patients receive the best possible care. Ms. Donna's retirement marks the end of an era and we will miss you dearly. I wish her all the best on your new journey in life and hope that you will continue to bring your kind, gentle spirit to the world. Congratulations Ms. Donna and thank you for everything!

Donna, congrats on your retirement, or shall I say new life adventures. You have been a treasure at Skyline and a true friend to TRiO.  We cannot articulate how much we value and appreciate you as a person and a colleague. Wishing you the desires of your heart and joy in the next chapter of your journey.  Don't forget about all the incredible times and people (and TRiO:)  No more coffee runs and chats, and hanging out with Espino (at least at work:). Know that you will be missed. Be well.
