Information

The family will receive visitors at First Baptist Church Callahan Thursday Evening from 6:00-8:00. Her homegoing celebration will be Friday at First Baptist Church Callahan at 11:00 a.m. If you would like to read Donna's full obituary go to http://www.oxleyheard.com/ and click on her name.


We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have ministered to Donna and this sweet family in their time of trial. We can not express in words how our own hearts have been touched by the ministry of others. There have been so many faithful prayer warriors and we believe it is what has gotten this family through these very difficult days. God has showed up in so many ways in the form of his sweet people.

Donna is with her Lord and she would want us to continue in the race and run it to the fullest by serving those around us. Let us claim her Joshua 1:9 and do just that.

Please continue to pray for the family. The next couple of days will be especially tough but so will the days after. Donna's suffering is over but their heartache is not. If there is a specific prayer need from the family in the next few weeks we will post it. Otherwise, this will be the last entry on the blog. Saying goodbye to Donna and all that entails is bittersweet. We will hold her friendship and what it has meant to us in our hearts forever. We look forward to the day when we once again see her sweet face and hear her angelic voice in that heavenly choir and we will be singing with her "To Him who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" Amen.

  1. To the ladies/friends of Donna's who took the time and cared so much to keep us posted. I thank you. Your words were so eloquently spoken and I know Donna would be so proud to have called you a friend. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
