Donna was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She will truly be missed. My sincere condolences to Larry and her family.
Aunt Donna was so loved by our family. We are so sorry for your loss. She will be very missed by everyone that knew her.
Mrs Glazebrook was truly one of a kind. I don’t think I ever saw her without a smile. Craig was one of my brother’s (Scott) best friends so we saw them often.
My thoughts and prayers to the entire Glazebrook family.
May she rest in Sweet Eternal Peace and Paradise.
Donna was such a lovely lady. I am glad I got to spend time with her just last weekend You all are blessed to have had her in your lives. Sincerely, Margie Schwartz

Sadly, I did not know Donna, but Larry, her husband, is a good friend and golf buddy. Larry spoke of Donna often and was truly dedicated to her. This is a huge loss. My thoughts and prayers are with Larry and the entire Glazebrook family.
I got to know Donna and Larry and their family when I worked for State Farm.Donna always had a smile on her face when she came in the office. Very friendly and she spoke highly of her family. So sorry for her families loss.

She and Larry were the perfect couple
Sincerest condolences
To her family
Donna was one of the sweetest and nicest people I’ve met. No words can express how sorry I am for your loss. My sincere condolences to Larry and the rest of the family.
Miss you terribly already! You were the very best of everything! There are no words adequate to describe you or your beautiful life together with dad. You truly were in a class all your own! Your beauty, class, kindness and generosity were second to none! You were simply amazing and touched so many lives in a positive way. I know you had many plans and were not ready to leave us. Sadly heaven must have needed a very special Angel! May god bless your beautiful soul.
Love you forever, mom!
Donna was a kind soul, an elegant woman, and a very loving friend. I will miss our little chats, her laughter, but most of all – her smile. Rest in peace my friend. Larry and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
