Dear Don Owens and Family,
Our loving prayers and thoughts are with Don, Mary, and family at this solemn time. We have wonderful memories of whole family staying with us and a fun, exciting camping trip to Yosemite. Ryan showed such compassion and gentle care even then for a young boy. I know he has left many special memories for his family and friends. Maybe his loving care was needed in a special place and for a reason we can't quite comprehend. I would like to think so.
Blessings to all,
Aunt Jean and Uncle Ray
