Sheena, Julie, Laura, Jennifer, and all the grandchildren: Steve, Chris, Kerry and I send you our deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved husband, father, and grandfather. May your pain now soften to dreamy memories of all the good times spannning your 52 years together. I wish I could have been able to attend the service, but I know you have a remarkable group of friends and fans nearby to help take care of you all. Love and peace to you, Sylvia

Dearest Sheena ... some of our fondest memories of living in Virginia are the times we spent with you and Don. He was one of those special guys -- always there, always seemed to understand and care. And that smile that would light up a room. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sharon & Dwight Weaver
