Dear Carolyn, We are so sorry for your loss. We are in Oregon for the summer, near, where Don spent some time in the logging industry.(Mapleton) Don was one of a kind. He always saw the good in people and brought out the best in them. He was a very good boss and also did a lot for the timber industry as well as the over-all community. He will be remembered by all as a "Wonderful Human Being". God Bless

Dear Carolyn and all of your extended family,
Recently, I had Mom's videos of old home Super 8s put on dvd and I enjoyed seeing your wedding to Don on there. You were a wonderful couple from the beginning and good people who are respected.
Love,

Take care Mr Chapman. I was glad to see you and talk to you a couple of holidays ago. Our conversation brought me back to my younger years as well as David's. You made those years that much more joyous, especially by not coming down hard on us with all the silly things we did when we were kids. :) You will always put a smile on my face whenever I think of you, same smile I have when I think of my own father who left 11 years earlier. You will always have my respect and admiration. Rest in peace.
