Not sure what to say?

Sorry for the loss of your Dad. He was a great man and will be missed.

I have so many memories of our families. What wonderful neighbors you were. It was hard to see you move. It was nice to have children the same age as we raised them. I remember them walking to school together and playing together. So many great memories. I know this is a hard time but want to let you know I am praying for you and have loved your family.

You were wonderful neighbors. I sure hated to see you move. We raised our families here together. I have so many good memories of our families growing up. They played together and walked to school together. You are in my prayers. We have loved your family.

Don was an amazing man that was full of so much wisdom and insight. He was a man that paid attention to details both in his hobbies, his family, his work and to the church. He will always be a great example to me and my family. We have enjoyed our friendship for the many years that we have known Chic and Don. We will definitely miss him and we miss having them in the ward. We pray that him and Chic will always remember what an influence they have been on the people in Rigby.
