So, the second I walked in the door to my Dad's house...I feel like I was kicked in the stomach with a harsh reality that my mom is no longer here. Despite all of the encouragement and support that people can say...it still does not take away this awful feeling. Then I came across this letter written about my mom by one of the patients at the office she worked for ...and I think this is only a small glimpse at how much she impacted the lives of those around her.
Dear Fynes family,
I have had the very good fortune to meet and get to know your beloved Donna and after learning of her passing, I wanted to write and tell you that I am so sorry for your loss.
I am a severely disabled quadriplegic, and as such, I can be a "pain in the butt" to some; especially those in the medical field who often have to do more than usual to help me...but to my amazement; from the MANY phone calls, to the time I needed help getting in and out the front door and the Doctor's very tiny examination rooms...your Donna always treated me with love, kindness and respect...and I was always AMAZED at her ability to multi-task...Wow...I'm thinking if you look up that word in the dictionary...you'd see a picture of Donna with one hand dialing the fax, the other hand holding the phone...and at the same time she'd be listening to instructions from the doctor or motioning to a patient to go into the examination room...and over the 10 or so years I've watched Donna work...she always did it all with kindness and understanding for everyone involved in the Doctor's business..including those pharmacutical salesman...haha!
I was so sad to hear of Donna's passing...to me she was a bright light of love and compassion and she will be missed...but it's easier for me to see Donna smiling ear to ear while multi-tasking once again as one of God's busy, loving and caring Angels.
God Bless....
