May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15) My sincerest condolence.

Donna Eckert was a great lady. She was among my very favorite residents. She and Ralph lived where I was employed for quite some time. I got to know her as a kind, gentle, intelligent person. My sincere sympathy goes to Ralph and his children. Many of us will remember her.

I always looked forward to Donna and Ralph walking into Bill's Chicken and Steak House. They were all smiles and lots of fun and all of the staff got to know them. Donna shopped on TV and so did our boss so they always had a lot to talk about. Donna was always so nice and Ralph so funny and nice. They just worked together and I always wished for a marriage like theirs. I have missed them since our restaurant closed and now even more so with Donnas passing.
