Hello. I am so sorry for your loss of Desaray. Because m name is Donna Brown, an individual reached out to me today to say she moved into a home where Scott once lived and found several photographs of Desaray that she would like to return to the family. I am not related to Desaray and did not know her; however, if I can be of assistance in returning the photos to her family, I would like to do that. I can be reached at 435-592-4839.

I met you through VOC Rehab and never had I met someone who was so caring about her clients. I loved our appointments and thank you for showing me how much you believed in me. Not once did you ever judge me for my stupid mistakes. You will forever be in my heart and I miss you.

Hi, My name is Tracey Erwin and I went to Logan classes with Desaray and also had classes with her. She was an amazing woman and I know she loved her doll collection!! I am a veteran w PTSD and she always had a kind word and amazing support when I was struggling.. We always said we would stay in touch but life happens and we or rather I, drew back. However she was always upbeat and positive about her clients. She always made me smile. She died on my birthday and I am very sorry for your loss. I would like you to know I am going to carry on with her love of the job by working with veterans in the future and wish you and your family healing. Tracey Erwin
