Don was like a second father to me.His wife Rosie started babysitting me when I was 2yr. old.From there I became a part of their loving family.We went places together,and as I grew older I would still spend alot of time at their house.I can remember having dinner in the den in their house in Gilbert where Rosie would let us eat dinner in there so we could watch t.v. One time Don and I were thumb wrestling and I actually sprianed his thumb! He never did get mad. He just brought it up alot,and laughed!!!!! I will never forget the times that I shared with Don,and I will have lot's of fun memories that I can cherish forever.Don will always have a special part in my heart!!!!! AS so does the rest of his family.Rosie,a second mother to me,and Steve, a BIG brother to me. I love you all,and you will be in my prayers.Tasha
