I was very sad to hear about the loss of your Father! Your entire family is in my prayers!
Dear Alicia and Walters family, I am so very sorry for the loss of your father. I spoke with Mr. Walters several times when Alicia was in the hospital years ago and knew he was a very kind, compassionate and intelligent man. My sincere condolences for your loss.
Aunt Louisa, Grandma Jo, & family,
I am praying that you all can celebrate this morning the joy that Uncle Don has brought to so many lives. I am sorry we can’t be there with you all. I will forever have excellent memories of the loving, humorous man that he was. His smile is embedded in my memory and so many others and that lives on forever. Love you all lots. Sending prayers.
Love, Anna & Zach, Everett & Adeline

Dear Aunti Lou, Alicia, Valerie, Frank and Don,
We will miss Uncle Don dearly. Sincere condolences and prayers for continued strength to all of you over the years to come. While we are unable to attend the service in Colorado, we will have a vigil on the beach this Saturday for Uncle Don.
Love to all,
The Wilson Family (Scott, Joni and Max)
