[Dialogue] I was asked by several people to share more about Donna's life.

[Paula]

Dear Friends,

Donna Tameka Tims was born Feb 13, 1978 in Chicago, IL  

When the Otto's joined Epworth United Methodist in 1988, Donna began
attending the Tutoring program and every Sunday brought her 3 siblings and 4
cousins to worship.  As the oldest, she was not permitted to leave the house
unless she brought all the kids.  Her early childhood was difficult.  She
attended 17 elementary schools before 5th grade.  

Later, her Guardian was ready to move to a different State and the Tims
family was returned to Children and Family Services.  Ken and Paula sought
out Donna and invited her to join their family.  She was 16, a high school
sophomore, reading at 3rd grade level.  She became a full time member of the
family on Dec. 15, 1994. She was baptized Donna Tracy Otto by her
Grandfather Philbrook, in the spring of '96.  She completed high school at
the Lakeview Academy in 1999.  

After high school, she migrated West to Phoenix and met Jeff O'Daniels in
2001.  Their son, Jeffery Lee O'Daniels, Jr, was born, July 12, 2004.  They
were married Feb 7, 2005.  Donna wanted more than anything to have a family
of her own.  She and Jeff were doing well and nurturing their young son.
They spent Christmas in Chicago and we had a wonderful time celebrating the
joy and love of family during the Holiday Season.

            Donna completed her life on January 19, 2006 at 11:00 am
following a Brain Aneurysm.
