I have had the privilege of being an advisor to Donna and Ross for the better part of 25 years. In that time, I really appreciated our interactions together. To me, time with Donna and Ross was more than just about business, I felt that we enjoyed each other's company. Donna's passion for life and her family were very much evident, their devotion to each other was unmistakeable. My prayers go out to Donna's entire family during this difficult time, she will be truly missed.

Ross, sincere sympathies to you and your family. I worked very closely with Donna for many years on a number of projects through my entire career in the Investment Division. She provided outstanding support to our Divisional systems. Her passion and dedication to her work was unmatched. As you know better than anyone, the world just lost a great one.. Take care

Ross, I'm so sorry to come across this obituary. I remember our exchange shorty after her diagnoses. I'm sad to know that damn disease took another beautiful soul. My most sincere condolences To you and your family.

My condolences to all of Donna's family, may your memories of her love help sustain you through your loss

My deepest condolences to Ross and your family. I will always remember Donna for her joyful smile

my condolences to Ross and all your family on the loss of Donna. I just lost my husband in July so u derstand what you are going through. Sending lots of love and hugs. She was a gentle soul!

I had the pleasure of working with Donna for 10 years and am saddened by her passing. She was a smart and very principled person who cared about those around her. My condolences to the Emek family. She will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. She was such a lovely woman, compassionate, funny, intelligent and always with that smile. I worked with Donna at Motor Coach Industries many, many years ago. I think it might have been her first job. She was a wonderful addition to our team. I was privileged to attend her wedding to Ross and we kept in touch for a number of years.

Rest in peace Donna.

I knew the Emek family when we were all members at the former Anglican Parish of St. Patrick and St. Jude, My prayers are with Ross and his children and grandchildren, and the extended Emek/Wakin families. Donna was one-of-a-kind, with emphasis on the 'kind'. She was also loving, compassionate and committed -to her family, her friends and her faith, Rest in peace until you rise in glory, Donna.

Ross and family, I am very, very sorry about the loss of Donna. I only met Donna a few times and she was such a nice person. It sounds like you have lots of great memories to sustain you, but the loss is and will be hard. Take care of each other as Donna would want you to do.

Rick worked first with Ross in Group at GWL ..then moved to investment division and worked with Donna. Enjoyed both experiences. Such a lovely couple condolences to all who knew and loved her.

Lovely photo collage of Donna and your family. We are very sorry to hear this news and are thinking of you. See you in November.

I and many others will be reflecting on Donna's insightful and no-nonsense influence at work. During London Life integration I have fond memories of discovering the first evidence of tangible system documentation for a disbursement system that touched on INVS data, at about 6 pm at night as I was reading a document that Donna was printing off for herself on a local printer! That was one of my first impressions of how deeply and well she could dig into her job, and it always stuck with me. Rest in peace.

Our Deepest Sympathy to Ross and family, Jennie and families. I am Donna's cousin and she would come to our farm to visit me when she was visiting her Baba and Gido down the road from our place. We had so much fun together. I also visited her in Winnipeg when we were single. We used to shop at polo park and had many laughs. She was bridesmaid for me as well. May Donna rest in peace! So very sorry to hear of her passing.

So sorry to hear that Donna has passed. I always enjoyed any time we chatted. A wonderful warm person. Rest in peace Donna. Condolences to you and your beautiful family, Ross. I hope your treasured memories bring you peace and comfort. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Heartfelt thoughts to Family Emek. A touching tribute to Donna and will forever remember her warm smile & chats at GWL. May your many memories bring you comfort.

What a beautiful photo biography documenting your special moments of your life with Donna. I remember her beautiful big smile. Cherish all those special times and memories and keep the,m close. She will truly be miss. Our deepest sympathies to you Ross and your extended family.
